A wireless shutter trigger for a DSLR camera can come in handy in many situations. And if you already own an Android device, you don't have to splurge on a dedicated remote trigger. To turn an Android device into a flexible tool for triggering the shutter wirelessly you need three things:
- The DSLR Remote app installed on your Android device
- TriggerTrap dongle and cable combination for your specific DSLR model
- Generic Bluetooth A2DP receiver (can be purchased on eBay)
Start with installing the DSLR Remote Control app on your Android device. Connect then the Bluetooth receiver to the DSLR camera using the TriggerTrap cable as shown below. Enable Bluetooth on the Android device, and turn the Bluetooth receiver on. On the Android device, switch to Settings → Bluetooth and pair the device with the receiver.
Next, configure the DSLR Remote app. The exact configuration profile depends on the particular receiver. In most cases, you only need to specify the appropriate cable type in the app's Settings section. To do this, launch the DSLR Remote app, switch to the Settings section, and set the Remote Type option to Cable S. Close the settings screen, switch to the Remote section and press the S button. This should trigger the camera's shutter. If this doesn't work, then try enabling the Bluetooth option, or set the Remote Type option to Cable A.

As many of you know, I look at Valentine's Day and the days leading up to this day of "love" as the perfect time for me to grab deals on candy, clothes and lingerie! Love me 365 days baby but, on Valentine's Day, let me love myself with some shopping!
This year my love goes towards dressing my feet in some red stuff. I found great styles that works for everyone, and deals for those who don't want to spend a ton on some red heels. Red heels will be a good way to incorporate some pop-of-color into your outfit, just make sure that when you buy these sexy heels, that you know how to walk in them. You do not want to bring attention to your flaws with some red, because you will be talked about by people, like me!

The Chicago Fire first team wasn't the only part of the club down in Ave Maria last week. For the second straight year, YESsoccer, the official camps and training partner of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club, put on a Regional Talent School for the Florida Fire Juniors over the weekend. I spoke with YESsoccer COO Matt Brown to see how it went.
Jeff Crandall: Talk about the circumstances behind going to do a Regional Talent School in Ave Maria this past weekend.
Matt Brown: First and foremost our goal was to support and interact with the Florida Fire Juniors program and to offer a realistic Fire Player Development experience for the Juniors players down there. It also gave the Fire's first-team players the opportunity to represent the Chicago Fire brand, and YESsoccer the chance to expose the Juniors players to some of the top-level coaching we are doing in Chicago.
JC: How did the sessions go?
MB: The sessions were fantastic. We were very pleased with the standard of the players we got to work with. With the High School combine going on, we were working with the younger players, typically 8-12 years old. We held technical sessions to work on footwork and ball manipulation, so that the players are comfortable with the ball at their feet in every situation.
JC: Are there opportunities to run Regional Talent Schools in other Fire Juniors clubs?
MB: Right now we're working with the CFJ affiliate clubs in and around Chicago, and outside Chicago we're working with the Kentucky, Louisiana and Michigan Fire Juniors. This is the second time we've had the opportunity to work with the Florida club, and we look forward to talking with their board about developing more interactions with the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
JC: As the weather begins to get warmer, could you talk about what's going on for Chicago Fire Camps & Training coming up this year?
MB: We're always looking to offer programs and services to all levels of players, year-round. Right now we are running Regional Talent Schools in five different Chicago locations. As those programs have sold out, we've also established 4-week programs that players can sign up for that are available online now.
At this time of the year they're of course indoor programs, but we're always excited about our spring RTS programs and summer camps all over the Chicago market.
We'll also be announcing our 2013 Super Y and National Talent Center opportunities soon for this summer. Interested players and parents can reach out to our Emerging Talent Program coordinator, Ashley Wormall, at email@example.com to find the training opportunity that's right for them.

Wilson activated off DL; Rodriguez sent down
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Dodgers activated right-handed Brian Wilson off the disabled list Tuesday and optioned left-handed reliever Paco Rodriguez to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room on the roster.
Wilson was put on the DL 15 days ago to rebuild arm strength after rushing to be ready during a compressed Spring Training.
Rodriguez was the odd man out because he had options. He also had a 3.18 ERA in eight appearances this year, rebounding from last year's late-season tailspin after five nearly unhittable months.
"Paco was a professional," said manager Don Mattingly. "I'm sure he's upset with it. The main reason is that Paco's got options at this point. Can't say it's a great reason. But we're going to see Paco again. He was tremendous last year and real good this year. There are a few things he can work on, and the silver lining is we can control his work and put him in tough situations while making sure he's not overused or overworked."
Rodriguez said he understood that he was only one of two Dodgers relievers (Chris Withrow the other) with options and without guaranteed contracts.
"This is just part of it," he said. "I'll just keep doing my thing down there. Oh, I could say they [cheated] me, but I'm going down there and work on getting back up there. I know how everything works. I'll be professional about it. No big deal."

For much of the 19th century, Saratoga Springs was the "Queen of the Spa" resorts with the added attraction of horse racing and a first rate casino along with proximity to New York City from which it drew a large part of its monied clientele, attracting the likes of the Vanderbilts, Fisks, Goulds and Asters. For a time, it also boasted the largest hotels in the world such as the Grand Union Hotel where congressman, senators and bankers gathered, The United States Hotel where the likes of Vanderbilts, Goulds and Rockfellers held court on the piazza and Congress Hall which hosted the Asters and other old New York scions.
The scale of many of these Saratoga Springs hotels was monumental. The Grand Union was updated several times but in 1875, it claimed a ballroom that was 85 x 60 feet with 27 foot high ceilings from which hung three large crystal chandeliers. Covering seven acres right on Broadway, the main thoroughfare, The Grand Union had over 824 rooms available, some of them cottages which rented for $125 per day. The cottages were used mainly by families but a single bedroom cottage could be a discreet place to house one's mistress. Fodder for many stories, I'm sure.
|The Grand Union
A block down Broadway, The United States Hotel was almost as large encompassing a three-acre park within its boundaries and 768 guest rooms and cottage suites and all equipped with marble washstands and cold running water with some of the suites offering a private bath. It also had a large ballroom and spacious dining room, all superbly appointed. Congress Hall was on a slightly smaller scale but all three lined the main street with large piazza's overlooking Broadway. Seen in one long sweep the hotels made quite an architectural display.
There were enough places to stay that the middle class could find accommodations and rub shoulders with the elite during visits to the springs and, of course, at the many hops that were held. From that stand point, Saratoga was certainly a more "democratic" resort than say Newport where hotel space was limited and one needed a grand home or an invitation to one to be part of its society. Florence Vanderbilt met her husband, a Western Union clerk, amongst the glitter of Saratoga Springs.
In 1877 the Adelphi Hotel was built, squeezed in between the Grand Union and the United States. The Adelphi's piazza also overlooked the street and added to the unified architecture of these great hotels. The Adelphi only had a little more than 150 rooms but it entertained some of Saratoga's elite as well, including John Morrissey, the colorful Tammany Hall politician who helped bring racing and gambling to The Springs. He died at the Adelphi in 1878 with citizens keeping vigil outside its doors.
The Adelphi's smaller stature is what helped save it from the fate of it's bigger sister hotels. As modern conveniences such as elevators, electrical wiring, indoor plumbing, central heating, phones, etc. were required by vacationers, updating such mammoth palaces became financially prohibitive. With travel made easier, more options opened up. By the 1920's these grande dames were shadows of their former self. By the forties they were in substantial decline. The United States went up in smoke during that decade and the wrecking ball signaled the demise of the Grand Union in 1953.
|The Adelphi's lobby

Situated on the Rhineland Plain between the Black Forest, the Vosges mountains and the Palatinate Forest, Karlsruhe is a hub of science and technology, Germany's online capital and the home of the Federal Court of Justice. The city has always been just that little bit more liberal than most, allowing art and culture to flourish and creating an atmosphere of vitality.
Given Karlsruhe's grand palace, the absence of an old quarter may leave visitors slightly puzzled. But this is a relatively young city, only founded in 1715, and so lacks the medieval lanes and alleys seen in many German towns. Baden's Margrave Karl-Wilhelm had his dream city designed from scratch, with the resplendent palace at its centre and 32 streets and avenues radiating outwards like the ribs of a fan. From its very beginnings, Karlsruhe was a city without walls, open to friends and visitors, tolerant and liberal. People from France, Poland, Italy, Switzerland and many German states were involved in its creation. As a result, Karlsruhe was way ahead of its time in the development of a cosmopolitan society with modern institutions of government. The 1818 Baden constitution was also ahead of its time, and Germany's first parliament was built here in 1822. Karlsruhe's most influential cultural institution is the Centre for Art and Media (ZKM) – part museum, part institute, part documentation centre, and much more besides. The ZKM brings together under one roof the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Media Museum and institutes for visual media, for music and acoustics, and for media, education and economics. It explores the development and form of the information society, the media and contemporary art forms in a way never seen before. Even the location of the centre in a former munitions factory is symbolic of changing times.
New media and classicism – Karlsruhe's signature blend of styles. The work of architect Friedrich Weinbrenner dominated the appearance of Karlsruhe in the first half of the 19th century, and many of his buildings can still be found in the city centre today. Home to the Protestant church and town hall, the market square is one of the most striking ensembles of classical-style architecture in Europe and its pièce de résistance is Weinbrenner's most audacious work – the Karlsruhe Pyramid. The monument, completed in 1825, is the final resting place of the Margrave. Fortunately, the atmosphere here is much less stark than the architecture. The many pavement cafés and beer gardens around the market square are ideal for watching the hustle and bustle of the city. Kaiserstrasse, the longest shopping street in the Baden region, has a great selection of shops and there are lots of restaurants offering excellent local cuisine. You can then round off your day with a taste of Karlsruhe's vibrant nightlife. A welcome alternative for the following day could be provided by one of the many museums, such as the State Museum at the palace, or by the public parks and green spaces. The botanical garden, palace garden and the zoo are leafy oases of tranquillity and they alone would make a visit to Karlsruhe worthwhile. And if you happen to be in town at the end of July, you cannot miss Das Fest when more than 200,000 music fans descend on Karlsruhe for one of Germany's biggest outdoor rock and pop festivals. The annual event is known for its high-calibre live bands, its array of kids' activities, its mostly good weather and its captivating atmosphere. But in Karlsruhe, that hardly comes as a surprise.

Welcome to the new CommScope.com experience. Need help? Get Help
We're here at the SCTE-ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017 promoting broadband technology AND celebrating a huge milestone with our service provider partners.In the third quarter of 2017, ARRIS shipped our 200-millionth DOCSIS® device. This milestone marks ARRIS's pioneering efforts to deliver broadband to millions of people around the world. It highlights our long legacy of driving one of the most important technologies in our industry…and possibly in the history of communications.
The DOCSIS specification enables high-speed data services to be carried through the hybrid fiber coax architecture of modern cable systems. It is the backbone of the cable broadband industry and part of ARRIS's DNA. It is a critical tool for cable operators to enable constant connectivity for their customers.
Since its introduction more than 20 years ago, DOCSIS has evolved, undergoing numerous enhancements. ARRIS helped guide these advances all along the way. Today, we're working closely with the world's leading providers to roll out the latest version – DOCSIS 3.1 – to customers. It promises to be a game changer, enabling multi-Gigabit speeds up to 150x faster than the current US national average (as calculated by Speedtest.net).
The DOCSIS 3.1 upgrade cycle is accelerating quickly. The industry's need to deliver Gigabit speeds, creates unprecedented demand for ARRIS's broad portfolio of DOCSIS 3.1 CPE and network equipment. The next generation of DOCSIS will power blazing fast Wi-Fi®, rich interactive video services, and fast-growing connectivity for businesses.
In the spirit of The Next Big, ARRIS continues to look forward.At the SCTE-ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2017, booth #1595, we will showcase three crucial pillars of our vision:
- DOCSIS 3.1 CPE: ARRIS provides one of the broadest portfolios of multi-Gigabit cable modems, voice and data gateways to address the diverse and evolving needs of service providers worldwide. Each device in the family is designed to deliver the future of entertainment and communication…today.
- Home-Assure®: ARRIS's new Home Wi-Fi Management platform to enable the ultimate Wi-Fi experience. The comprehensive set of tools includes: a subscriber app that simplifies the Wi-Fi experience (e.g. the ability to auto-configure extenders and gateways); "Fast-Steering" automated network optimization; technician tools; and remote monitoring and diagnostics.
- Wireless Intelligence: Arming service providers with real-time analytics on public Wi-Fi network activity – down to the device level – to efficiently manage network performance and deliver fast Wi-Fi to customers outside of the home.
All of these technologies are transforming the way we stay connected in our busy lives. As ARRIS continues to lead innovation and the transformation of the industry, our 200 million device milestone is a good reminder of just how many lives we've touched along the way. This is part of our inspiration to invent the next big thing…and to keep powering the digital world.

| 7.7°C Belfast
Foreign Secretary William Hague is due to speak to his Russian counterpart tomorrow as tensions run high over the future of Ukraine.
Mr Hague has warned that it would not be in Russia's interests to intervene militarily in the crisis on its borders amid fears that Moscow could send in troops.
The Foreign Secretary said there was a "moment of opportunity" in Ukraine after MPs voted to oust president Viktor Yanukovych and hold fresh elections in May, but acknowledged there were "still many dangers" for the country.
Asked about the role of Russia, Mr Hague said Prime Minister David Cameron held talks with president Vladimir Putin last week and he would speak to foreign minister Sergey Lavrov tomorrow.
He said: "It's very important for us to try to persuade Russia that this need not be a zero sum game.
"It's in the interests of the people of the Ukraine to be able to trade more freely with the European Union, it's in the interest of the people of Russia for that to happen as well.
"We are in constant discussion with Russia and it's very important we keep that up, particularly if there's an economic package, it will be important that Russia doesn't do anything to undermine that economic package and is working in co-operation and support of it.
"So, a lot of work to do with Russia over the coming days."
On BBC1's Andrew Marr Show Mr Hague said "we don't know what Russia's next reaction will be" when he was asked if Mr Putin could send in the tanks.
Pressed on whether he believed there could be a Russian intervention he added: "I am not suggesting that. I'm really suggesting that it would not be in the interests of Russia to do any such thing, that we have to keep up the communication with Russia, as we are doing, as you can gather, so that the people of Ukraine can choose their own way forward.
"I'm not suggesting that anybody is going to stop them but there are many dangers and uncertainties."
Mr Yanukovych is believed to be in Ukraine's Russian-leaning east and Mr Hague acknowledged the complex picture in the vast country.
"The political situation even among the opposition is very complex, it's clearly been a very divided country," Mr Hague said.
"There are many dangers but it's urgent that they get on to form that inclusive government, a government of national unity in effect.
"It's urgent that they confirm their constitutional arrangements for elections coming up which they have declared for May.
"It's really urgent that they and we get on with improving their economic situation."
Financial support for the stricken Ukraine economy was something that would be discussed with European partners, the Foreign Office said.
European Union foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton is due to visit Kiev tomorrow to meet key players in the drama, her office said.
Lady Ashton will discuss the EU's support for a lasting solution to the political crisis and measures to stabilise the economic situation.
With Mr Yanukovych refusing to accept the will of the country's MPs, fears mounted that it could split in two - a Europe-leaning west and a Russian-leaning east and south.
He has insisted he is the "legitimately elected president" and had been the victim of "banditry and a coup d'etat".
US president Barack Obama's national security adviser echoed Mr Hague's warning about the dangers of a Russian intervention, saying it would be a "grave mistake".
Susan Rice said. "It's not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or the United States to see the country split."
Ukraine's parliament voted to temporarily hand the president's powers to speaker Oleksandr Turchinov, a close ally of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
After spending two-and-a-half years in prison, Ms Tymoshenko addressed the protest movement in Independence Square, but has asked not to be nominated for the post of prime minister in the new administration being formed.
It is thought she may want to focus her energies on campaigning for president, where she could face former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko.
"I want to make Ukraine a modern European country," the boxer turned political leader told the BBC. "If I can do that through the president's position, I will do my best."

Praise for P.L. Gaus' Amish-Country Mysteries
"A sensitively observed series."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
"Gaus's Amish-Country Mysteries examine the ethical, moral and scriptural nuances of the Amish, and the challenges their community faces co-existing with technology and temptations of the modern world."—Sharon Short, Dayton Daily News (Ohio)
Praise for Clouds without Rain
"Of all the dastardly crimes that might spark a good whodunit, a buggy robbery doesn't seem very promising—unless the author is P. L. Gaus, who writes a discerning series set among the Old Order Amish sects of Holmes County, Ohio… Gaus is a sensitive storyteller who matches his cadences to the measured pace of Amish life, catching the tensions among the village's religious factions."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
Praise for Cast a Blue Shadow
"An interesting who-dunit read, keeping me guessing in addition to providing insight into a unique way of life… This insightful novel will satisfy your hunger for a good murder mystery while it subtly educates you on the beliefs and values of a facet of society most know little about."—Bonnie Papenfuss, The Sahuarita Sun (Arizona)
Praise for Harmless as Doves
"For more than a decade, P. L. Gaus has been writing quietly spellbinding mysteries about one such group, the conservative Old Order Amish of Holmes County, Ohio… [A] sensitive account of the impact on this community when outsiders (that is, the cops) descend to deal with an Amish youth who has confessed to the murder of his fiancee's older, richer and very persistent admirer."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
"Gaus spins a fine mystery with a strong background of Amish faith and plenty of detail on the difficulties the Amish face in the modern age."—Michele Leber, Booklist
"What makes this book stand out as exceptional is the method in which Gaus describes events. There is intrigue, tenderness, religion, and much conflict… Blending of old-world culture with modern detective work makes this continuation of the same characters in key roles with different murders a true mystery series… If you like good mysteries, without salacious sex or mayhem, and adash of religion mixed in, you will want to read this book… A four star book and is highly recommended."—Clark Isaacs, Reviewer's Bookwatch
Praise for The Names of Our Tears
"Series regulars Professor Michael Branden, in Pinecraft, and Pastor Cal Troyer provide comfort and continuity in this eighth Amish-country mystery. Loose ends in the murder case lend realism and augur well for the next installment."—Michele Leber, Booklist
Praise for Separate from the World
"With each new mystery, P. L. Gaus treats us to yet another view of life among the Old Order Amish in Wayne County, Ohio… [H]e has great admiration for the Amish themselves, writing with quiet gravity about aspects of their lives rarely shown to strangers."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
"The latest in this too-little-known series again combines a fascinating, realistic look at an Amish community in Ohio with a gently satiric take on academic life."—Barbara Bibel, Booklist

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving says he will play against Memphis despite having flu-like symptoms earlier in the day.
Irving missed the team's morning shootaround and was listed as doubtful for Friday's game. A flu bug has coursed its way through Cleveland's team and also sickened family members of players and coaches. However, Irving arrived at Quicken Loans Arena about 90 minutes before tipoff and told reporters he was going to play.
Irving said he began filling ill Thursday night and spent most of Friday resting.
"I went to the doctor and got myself checked out," he said. "I'm here. About 13 hours of sleep will definitely help you."
Irving was recently held out of three games to rest a hyperextended right knee, and following Wednesday's win over Utah, the 20-year-old said the injury was still bothering him. Those comments prompted coach Byron Scott to say he would consider shutting down Irving again, rather than risk him making it worse.
However, after speaking with Irving and trainer Max Benton, Scott isn't as worried.
"I don't think the knee is that big of an issue," Scott said.
Irving attempted to diffuse any apparent controversy about the status of his knee and thought the situation regarding his comments on Wednesday was a bit overblown.
"I'm fine," he said. "I'm not getting shut down. Coach Scott is not in contemplation of shutting me down. It's funny what the Internet can do for people."
This virulent flu bug has bitten the Cavs hard.
Rookies Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller as well as Daniel Gibson and team trainer Max Benton all missed games earlier this week with the stomach virus. Waiters was in Friday's starting lineup and Scott said Gibson was available.
Zeller returned on Wednesday after being sick and losing five pounds. He and Waiters became so ill last weekend that they had to be taken to the hospital.
Scott has been leery of making any unnecessary contact with his players.
"I'm not touching their hands right now," he said. "We're doing a lot of knuckles stuff. I'm trying to stay away from them as much as possible. Hopefully, this thing will be over today or tonight. It's made its way through our team."

- Modules: Creation, Use, and Abuse
perlmodlib - constructing new Perl modules and finding existing ones
Many modules are included in the Perl distribution. These are described below, and all end in .pm. You may discover compiled library files (usually ending in .so) or small pieces of modules to be autoloaded (ending in .al); these were automatically generated by the installation process. You may also discover files in the library directory that end in either .pl or .ph. These are old libraries supplied so that old programs that use them still run. The .pl files will all eventually be converted into standard modules, and the .ph files made by h2ph will probably end up as extension modules made by h2xs. (Some .ph values may already be available through the POSIX, Errno, or Fcntl modules.) The pl2pm file in the distribution may help in your conversion, but it's just a mechanical process and therefore far from bulletproof.
Pragmatic Modules
They work somewhat like compiler directives (pragmata) in that they tend to affect the compilation of your program, and thus will usually work well only when used within a
use, or
no. Most of these are lexically scoped, so an inner BLOCK may countermand them by saying:
no integer;
no strict 'refs';
no warnings;
which lasts until the end of that BLOCK.
Some pragmas are lexically scoped--typically those that affect the
$^H hints variable. Others affect the current package instead, like
use vars and
use subs, which allow you to predeclare a variables or subroutines within a particular file rather than just a block. Such declarations are effective for the entire file for which they were declared. You cannot rescind them with
no vars or
no subs.
The following pragmas are defined (and have their own documentation).
Standard Modules
Standard, bundled modules are all expected to behave in a well-defined manner with respect to namespace pollution because they use the Exporter module. See their own documentation for details.
It's possible that not all modules listed below are installed on your system. For example, the GDBM_File module will not be installed if you don't have the gdbm library.
To find out all modules installed on your system, including those without documentation or outside the standard release, just use the following command (under the default win32 shell, double quotes should be used instead of single quotes).
% perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe \
'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ },
no_chdir => 1 }, @INC'
(The -T is here to prevent '.' from being listed in @INC.) They should all have their own documentation installed and accessible via your system man(1) command. If you do not have a find program, you can use the Perl find2perl program instead, which generates Perl code as output you can run through perl. If you have a man program but it doesn't find your modules, you'll have to fix your manpath. See perl for details. If you have no system man command, you might try the perldoc program.
Note also that the command
perldoc perllocal gives you a (possibly incomplete) list of the modules that have been further installed on your system. (The perllocal.pod file is updated by the standard MakeMaker install process.)
Extension Modules
Extension modules are written in C (or a mix of Perl and C). They are usually dynamically loaded into Perl if and when you need them, but may also be linked in statically. Supported extension modules include Socket, Fcntl, and POSIX.
Many popular C extension modules do not come bundled (at least, not completely) due to their sizes, volatility, or simply lack of time for adequate testing and configuration across the multitude of platforms on which Perl was beta-tested. You are encouraged to look for them on CPAN (described below), or using web search engines like Alta Vista or Google.
CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network; it's a globally replicated trove of Perl materials, including documentation, style guides, tricks and traps, alternate ports to non-Unix systems and occasional binary distributions for these. Search engines for CPAN can be found at http://www.cpan.org/
Most importantly, CPAN includes around a thousand unbundled modules, some of which require a C compiler to build. Major categories of modules are:
Language Extensions and Documentation Tools
Development Support
Operating System Interfaces
Networking, Device Control (modems) and InterProcess Communication
Data Types and Data Type Utilities
Database Interfaces
User Interfaces
Interfaces to / Emulations of Other Programming Languages
File Names, File Systems and File Locking (see also File Handles)
String Processing, Language Text Processing, Parsing, and Searching
Option, Argument, Parameter, and Configuration File Processing
Internationalization and Locale
Authentication, Security, and Encryption
World Wide Web, HTML, HTTP, CGI, MIME
Server and Daemon Utilities
Archiving and Compression
Images, Pixmap and Bitmap Manipulation, Drawing, and Graphing
Mail and Usenet News
Control Flow Utilities (callbacks and exceptions etc)
File Handle and Input/Output Stream Utilities
Miscellaneous Modules
The list of the registered CPAN sites follows. Please note that the sorting order is alphabetical on fields:
Continent | |-->Country | |-->[state/province] | |-->ftp | |-->[http]
and thus the North American servers happen to be listed between the European and the South American sites.

Modules: Creation, Use, and Abuse
(The following section is borrowed directly from Tim Bunce's modules file, available at your nearest CPAN site.)
Perl implements a class using a package, but the presence of a package doesn't imply the presence of a class. A package is just a namespace. A class is a package that provides subroutines that can be used as methods. A method is just a subroutine that expects, as its first argument, either the name of a package (for "static" methods), or a reference to something (for "virtual" methods).
A module is a file that (by convention) provides a class of the same name (sans the .pm), plus an import method in that class that can be called to fetch exported symbols. This module may implement some of its methods by loading dynamic C or C++ objects, but that should be totally transparent to the user of the module. Likewise, the module might set up an AUTOLOAD function to slurp in subroutine definitions on demand, but this is also transparent. Only the .pm file is required to exist. See perlsub, perlobj, and AutoLoader for details about the AUTOLOAD mechanism.
Guidelines for Module Creation
Do similar modules already exist in some form?
If so, please try to reuse the existing modules either in whole or by inheriting useful features into a new class. If this is not practical try to get together with the module authors to work on extending or enhancing the functionality of the existing modules. A perfect example is the plethora of packages in perl4 for dealing with command line options.
If you are writing a module to expand an already existing set of modules, please coordinate with the author of the package. It helps if you follow the same naming scheme and module interaction scheme as the original author.
Try to design the new module to be easy to extend and reuse.
Try to
use warnings;(or
use warnings qw(...);). Remember that you can add
no warnings qw(...);to individual blocks of code that need less warnings.
Use blessed references. Use the two argument form of bless to bless into the class name given as the first parameter of the constructor, e.g.,:
sub new { my $class = shift; return bless {}, $class; }
or even this if you'd like it to be used as either a static or a virtual method.
sub new { my $self = shift; my $class = ref($self) || $self; return bless {}, $class; }
Pass arrays as references so more parameters can be added later (it's also faster). Convert functions into methods where appropriate. Split large methods into smaller more flexible ones. Inherit methods from other modules if appropriate.
Avoid class name tests like:
die "Invalid" unless ref $ref eq 'FOO'. Generally you can delete the
eq 'FOO'part with no harm at all. Let the objects look after themselves! Generally, avoid hard-wired class names as far as possible.
$r->Class::func()where using
@ISA=qw(... Class ...)and
$r->func()would work.
Use autosplit so little used or newly added functions won't be a burden to programs that don't use them. Add test functions to the module after __END__ either using AutoSplit or by saying:
eval join('',<main::DATA>) || die $@ unless caller();
Does your module pass the 'empty subclass' test? If you say
@SUBCLASS::ISA = qw(YOURCLASS);your applications should be able to use SUBCLASS in exactly the same way as YOURCLASS. For example, does your application still work if you change:
$obj = YOURCLASS->new();into:
$obj = SUBCLASS->new();?
Avoid keeping any state information in your packages. It makes it difficult for multiple other packages to use yours. Keep state information in objects.
Always use -w.
Try to
use strict;(or
use strict qw(...);). Remember that you can add
no strict qw(...);to individual blocks of code that need less strictness.
Always use -w.
Follow the guidelines in perlstyle.
Always use -w.
Some simple style guidelines
The perlstyle manual supplied with Perl has many helpful points.
Coding style is a matter of personal taste. Many people evolve their style over several years as they learn what helps them write and maintain good code. Here's one set of assorted suggestions that seem to be widely used by experienced developers:
Use underscores to separate words. It is generally easier to read $var_names_like_this than $VarNamesLikeThis, especially for non-native speakers of English. It's also a simple rule that works consistently with VAR_NAMES_LIKE_THIS.
Package/Module names are an exception to this rule. Perl informally reserves lowercase module names for 'pragma' modules like integer and strict. Other modules normally begin with a capital letter and use mixed case with no underscores (need to be short and portable).
You may find it helpful to use letter case to indicate the scope or nature of a variable. For example:
$ALL_CAPS_HERE constants only (beware clashes with Perl vars) $Some_Caps_Here package-wide global/static $no_caps_here function scope my() or local() variables
Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase. e.g.,
You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or function should not be used outside the package that defined it.
Select what to export.
Do NOT export method names!
Do NOT export anything else by default without a good reason!
Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must export try to use @EXPORT_OK in preference to @EXPORT and avoid short or common names to reduce the risk of name clashes.
Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the module using the ModuleName::item_name (or
$blessed_ref->method) syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to indicate informally that they are 'internal' and not for public use.
(It is actually possible to get private functions by saying:
my $subref = sub { ... }; &$subref;. But there's no way to call that directly as a method, because a method must have a name in the symbol table.)
As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then @EXPORT_OK anything but use @EXPORT with caution.
Select a name for the module.
This name should be as descriptive, accurate, and complete as possible. Avoid any risk of ambiguity. Always try to use two or more whole words. Generally the name should reflect what is special about what the module does rather than how it does it. Please use nested module names to group informally or categorize a module. There should be a very good reason for a module not to have a nested name. Module names should begin with a capital letter.
Having 57 modules all called Sort will not make life easy for anyone (though having 23 called Sort::Quick is only marginally better :-). Imagine someone trying to install your module alongside many others. If in any doubt ask for suggestions in comp.lang.perl.misc.
If you are developing a suite of related modules/classes it's good practice to use nested classes with a common prefix as this will avoid namespace clashes. For example: Xyz::Control, Xyz::View, Xyz::Model etc. Use the modules in this list as a naming guide.
If adding a new module to a set, follow the original author's standards for naming modules and the interface to methods in those modules.
If developing modules for private internal or project specific use, that will never be released to the public, then you should ensure that their names will not clash with any future public module. You can do this either by using the reserved Local::* category or by using a category name that includes an underscore like Foo_Corp::*.
To be portable each component of a module name should be limited to 11 characters. If it might be used on MS-DOS then try to ensure each is unique in the first 8 characters. Nested modules make this easier.
Have you got it right?
How do you know that you've made the right decisions? Have you picked an interface design that will cause problems later? Have you picked the most appropriate name? Do you have any questions?
The best way to know for sure, and pick up many helpful suggestions, is to ask someone who knows. Comp.lang.perl.misc is read by just about all the people who develop modules and it's the best place to ask.
All you need to do is post a short summary of the module, its purpose and interfaces. A few lines on each of the main methods is probably enough. (If you post the whole module it might be ignored by busy people - generally the very people you want to read it!)
Don't worry about posting if you can't say when the module will be ready - just say so in the message. It might be worth inviting others to help you, they may be able to complete it for you!
README and other Additional Files.
It's well known that software developers usually fully document the software they write. If, however, the world is in urgent need of your software and there is not enough time to write the full documentation please at least provide a README file containing:
A description of the module/package/extension etc.
A copyright notice - see below.
Prerequisites - what else you may need to have.
How to build it - possible changes to Makefile.PL etc.
How to install it.
Recent changes in this release, especially incompatibilities
Changes / enhancements you plan to make in the future.
If the README file seems to be getting too large you may wish to split out some of the sections into separate files: INSTALL, Copying, ToDo etc.
Adding a Copyright Notice.
How you choose to license your work is a personal decision. The general mechanism is to assert your Copyright and then make a declaration of how others may copy/use/modify your work.
Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU GPL and The Artistic Licence (see the files README, Copying, and Artistic, or perlgpl and perlartistic). Larry has good reasons for NOT just using the GNU GPL.
My personal recommendation, out of respect for Larry, Perl, and the Perl community at large is to state something simply like:
Copyright (c) 1995 Your Name. All rights reserved. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
This statement should at least appear in the README file. You may also wish to include it in a Copying file and your source files. Remember to include the other words in addition to the Copyright.
Give the module a version/issue/release number.
To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules you should store your module's version number in a non-my package variable called $VERSION. This should be a positive floating point number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e., hundredths, e.g,
$VERSION = "0.01"). Don't use a "1.3.2" style version. See Exporter for details.
It may be handy to add a function or method to retrieve the number. Use the number in announcements and archive file names when releasing the module (ModuleName-1.02.tar.Z). See perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker.pm for details.
How to release and distribute a module.
It's good idea to post an announcement of the availability of your module (or the module itself if small) to the comp.lang.perl.announce Usenet newsgroup. This will at least ensure very wide once-off distribution.
If possible, register the module with CPAN. You should include details of its location in your announcement.
Some notes about ftp archives: Please use a long descriptive file name that includes the version number. Most incoming directories will not be readable/listable, i.e., you won't be able to see your file after uploading it. Remember to send your email notification message as soon as possible after uploading else your file may get deleted automatically. Allow time for the file to be processed and/or check the file has been processed before announcing its location.
FTP Archives for Perl Modules:
Follow the instructions and links on:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html
or upload to one of these sites:
https://pause.kbx.de/pause/ http://pause.perl.org/
and notify <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
By using the WWW interface you can ask the Upload Server to mirror your modules from your ftp or WWW site into your own directory on CPAN!
Please remember to send me an updated entry for the Module list!
Take care when changing a released module.
Always strive to remain compatible with previous released versions. Otherwise try to add a mechanism to revert to the old behavior if people rely on it. Document incompatible changes.
Guidelines for Converting Perl 4 Library Scripts into Modules
There is no requirement to convert anything.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Perl 4 library scripts should continue to work with no problems. You may need to make some minor changes (like escaping non-array @'s in double quoted strings) but there is no need to convert a .pl file into a Module for just that.
Consider the implications.
All Perl applications that make use of the script will need to be changed (slightly) if the script is converted into a module. Is it worth it unless you plan to make other changes at the same time?
Make the most of the opportunity.
If you are going to convert the script to a module you can use the opportunity to redesign the interface. The guidelines for module creation above include many of the issues you should consider.
The pl2pm utility will get you started.
This utility will read *.pl files (given as parameters) and write corresponding *.pm files. The pl2pm utilities does the following:
Adds the standard Module prologue lines
Converts package specifiers from ' to ::
Converts die(...) to croak(...)
Several other minor changes
Being a mechanical process pl2pm is not bullet proof. The converted code will need careful checking, especially any package statements. Don't delete the original .pl file till the new .pm one works!
Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl Module Library.
Many applications contain some Perl code that could be reused.
Help save the world! Share your code in a form that makes it easy to reuse.
Break-out the reusable code into one or more separate module files.
Take the opportunity to reconsider and redesign the interfaces.
In some cases the 'application' can then be reduced to a small
fragment of code built on top of the reusable modules. In these cases the application could invoked as:
% perl -e 'use Module::Name; method(@ARGV)' ... or % perl -mModule::Name ... (in perl5.002 or higher)
Perl does not enforce private and public parts of its modules as you may have been used to in other languages like C++, Ada, or Modula-17. Perl doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun.
The module and its user have a contract, part of which is common law, and part of which is "written". Part of the common law contract is that a module doesn't pollute any namespace it wasn't asked to. The written contract for the module (A.K.A. documentation) may make other provisions. But then you know when you
use RedefineTheWorld that you're redefining the world and willing to take the consequences.

This week, we start with the chefs having their own post-mortem on last week's double elimination.
Brooke is sad/happy that she has her own room now. Tyler observes that both Kuniko and Carla were both challenge winners who were subsequently eliminated. It's Stefan's 40th birthday and he's filled with trepidation: During his original time on "Top Chef," any chef that had a birthday during filming was promptly eliminated. He dubs it "The Birthday Curse."
The Quickfire brings the gang to the world famous Pike Place Market (I'm surprised it took us five episodes to get here). Padma (in a fetching matador/ringleader ensemble) introduces Guest Judge Daisley Gordon of Seattle's Marche. She asks the chefs to "divide into teams of two." (I'm thinking "pair up" would have been more succinct, but I'm not Padma.)
The awkward dance of everyone trying to avoid the same person (John Tesar) commences. John shimmies — literally shimmies — up to Josh and presses his shoulder against his. Josh does not move and stares straight ahead. It's like watching something on National Geographic Wild. The challenge is to create breakfast for the hardworking market vendors ... and it must be on a stick. They also need to purchase their entire kitchen from Sur la Table. Cue Black Friday-eqsue fisticuffs over panini presses.
The Pike Place Market vendors line up to try the seven dishes. Many of the "on a stick" attempts ended up "in the napkin" or "on the ground." Daisley didn't love Danielle/Lizzie's lackluster skewered fruit and bacon, as well as Josie/Liza's impossible to eat pancake kebob. His favorites were Sheldon/Bart's green forest breakfast sandwich (extra impressive as their panini press died towards the end of service) and Josh/John's mini taco. Bragging rights — and immunity — go to Sheldon and Bart.
Padma announces that the chefs will be staying in the same teams of two for the Elimination Challenge. Grumble, grumble, grumble. They draw knives, and each team is assigned a very specific, unusual ingredient (truffle popcorn, cheese curds, cardamom bitters) that is sold at Pike Place Market. The people who made these products will be joining the judges for lunch, and each team must create a dish that highlights their artisanal ingredient. I'm really annoyed that I was just forced to use the word "artisanal." Apologies.
CJ and Tyler are exchanging ideas for their dill pickle dish. CJ wants to do a burger with pickles on top. Tyler responds, "My idea was a potato oyster chowder with a dill pickle fritter on top. But ... uh ... I'm down with whatever you want." Tyler is clearly intimidated by CJ's past "Top Chef" experience and towering height. His dish sounds vastly more complex and interesting but he's skittish and apologetic to CJ. Come on, Tyler — own your dish! His humbleness is very endearing but I worry it's going to get him zapped too soon.
Josh and John are each concerned about the other's component (undercooked grits, overcooked pork) but they are so anxious about the potential of a temper tantrum from the other that neither is saying anything. It's like "The Gift of the Magi: Top Chef Edition."
The artisans and judges are seated for lunch. The chefs bring their dishes.
On Josh/John's pan-seared pork tenderloin with truffle popcorn grits:
Hugh: "As a guy who makes grits every day, those grits suck."
Tom: "Whoever cooked this meat just really screwed up."
On Micah/Kristen's cheese curds three ways: bechamel, raw and friend:
Padma: "I didn't know that that one nugget of fried brownness was cheese. And I LOVE CHEESE."
On Stefan/Brooke's rose petal glazed Muscovy duck with braised cabbage:
Hugh: "It's either a really dull knife, or really tough duck."
On Josie/Eliza's curry cardamom brother with Manila clams & seared white king salmon:
Padma: "I just swallowed sand."
Needless to say, it's not good. At the end of the meal, Gayle tries to say that the chefs did a decent job showcasing the ingredients but her lack of enthusiasm is clear. Tom declares, "I don't even have a favorite! They were all so bad. Not a good day for 'Top Chef.'"
Padma apologizes to the guests for the bad meal. Did you catch that? She apologizes for the food. Yikes.
Back in the stew room, Tom comes through the door as eyes begin to dart nervously. He lets them know that the dishes were all subpar. "We're not going to award a win tonight at all. That $10,000 is off the table." Also: "We're sending an entire team home tomorrow."
Back at the apartment, the gang is drinking heavily and working through their fears. Stefan tries to explain how "Last Chance Kitchen" works and starts drawing brackets in a notepad. Josh remains confused. As is America.
Morning comes, and we're on to what will surely be an excruciating last 12 minutes. Padma calls back three teams to Judge's Table. Since we know no winner will be announced, we — and the chefs — have no idea what this means for those teams. John/Josh, CJ/Tyler and Stefan/Brooke brace themselves. Padma lets the bomb drop: These three teams had the least successful dishes. Each get an earful from the judges.
After Padma dismisses them, CJ starts to say something and then shakes his head. "One last thing, CJ?" Padma asks. CJ turns back and asks the judges what they thought of Danyele/Lizzie's dessert. "Because that thing was an abhorrence. It was a debacle. It was diabolical. It was a travesty," he says. To which Hugh retorts, "Well, uh-oh, 'cause your burger was even worse." Tom bursts out laughing. Josh reprimands CJ for asking: "Stop underhanding pitches to a pro baseball player!" thus ending what I thought would be the worst but ended up one of the funniest Judge's Table ever.
The judges regroup to decide who's going home. Tom asks everyone for their vote on worst dish. Tom, Padma and Hugh each pick a separate dish. It's up to Gayle to decide. She heaves a pained sigh. CJ and Tyler are asked to pack their knives and go.
CJ is "mortified" and says that "he will be pretty pissed off for awhile." In sharp contrast, Tyler reflects that he has grown a lot and he accomplished his main goals of being himself and remaining sober. With this group? Those are not easy tasks. He holds his head high as he leaves.
Dear Tyler, You're a class act and I would love to try your oyster chowder someday. Love, Mary Alice.
The remaining chefs all agree that CJ will likely be the winner of Last Chance Kitchen. "Either him or Kuniko," mutters Eliza. Hmmm.
Next week: Anna Faris and Chris Pratt and their sure-to-be-hilarious unborn child, along with the sweet sweet schadenfreude of John Tesar getting visibly shaken by having to cook for his old boss.

Exploring the American Landscape Through Photography
"The Land Through a Lens: Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum," a traveling exhibition opened May 20, 2003 at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at University of Florida in Gainesville. It featured 84 photographs from the early years of photography in the 1850s through the 20th century. Included in this exhibition are works by influential early photographers Eadweard Muybridge, Timothy O'Sullivan and Carleton Watkins, as well as modern masters such as Ansel Adams and Aaron Siskind. Contemporary photographers such as William Christenberry, Emmet Gowin and Richard Misrach brought the collection into the present day. "The Land Through a Lens" traced America's fascination with the land and the way artists transform it into symbols and signature images.
"Americans have long had an intense and complex relationship with the land, which has inspired artists in every generation," said Elizabeth Broun, the museum's Margaret and Terry Stent Director. "Since 1988, the Smithsonian American Art Museum has placed a special emphasis on collecting landscape photographs that express an amazing variety of attitudes and ideas about this relationship."
Soon after photography was invented in 1839, photographers were outside documenting America's rural and regional views and geologic wonders. The earliest photograph in the exhibition is Alex Hesler's "Falls of Minnehaha, Minnesota" from about 1855. Hesler's views of these falls inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write his epic poem, Hiawatha.
Most 19th-century photographers worked on commission from industry or the government. George Barnard, for example, recorded Civil War battle sites while William Bell worked on government-sponsored geological and exploration surveys. Andrew Russell and Charles Savage helped to lure investors and travelers westward with the images they made along the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. At the same time, well-to-do Americans were hanging framed images by such photographers as Carleton E. Watkins and Eadweard Muybridge on their parlor walls.
Watkins was one of the first photographers to go west, arriving in Yosemite in 1861. In "The Three Brothers, Yosemite" (about 1865/printed after 1875), on view in the exhibition, the mountain peaks are almost apparitions, yet reflected in the lake they are curiously vivid. Watkins' views of Yosemite were so popular that they inspired the federal government to preserve the area as a national park.
Timothy H. O'Sullivan accompanied scientific expeditions to the American West, hauling a tremendous amount of photographic equipment across the difficult terrain. He made "Tufa Domes, Pyramid Lake, Nevada" in 1867 while working on a survey headed by Clarence King, a strong-willed geologist who believed the earth had been formed by a series of violent upheavals of which this landscape was evidence.
O'Sullivan's "Cañon de Chelle, Walls of the Grand Cañon about 1200 Feet in Height" from 1873 is one of the most famous 19th-century landscape views of the West. The composition invites the viewer into the scene, tracing a central course through the landscape.
William H. Jackson was the most prolific and long-lived photographer of the American West, working from the 1870s well into the 1900s. Jackson made "Grand Cañon of the Colorado" (about 1880), an image of the West's most famous gorge, after he opened a studio in Denver. This mammoth-plate photograph, so called because of the nearly 2-feet high glass-plate negative on which the image was made, was intended to be hung on a wall or displayed in an album.
As the 20th century dawned, preservation issues took center stage in public debates with the help of photography. Many artists, most notably Ansel Adams, featured breathtaking views of nature untouched by development, which influenced the movement to create a national park system.
Adams' photographs defined the aesthetic standards for landscape photography throughout the 20th century with their sharp detail and broad range of tonalities. "Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada from Lone Pine, California" (1944/printed 1978) is one of his most popular images. The dramatic contrast of light and shadow shows the world as an uninhabited wilderness with the crisply etched, snowy pinnacles of the Sierra Nevada looming over a band of nearly black foothills. The lone horse in the photograph suggests domestication and the endurance of natural beauty.
Modern and contemporary photographers have recorded both the forces of nature and the impact of human settlement and development. Lewis Baltz's documentation of suburban sprawl, Emmet Gowin's views of the aftermath of Mount St. Helens' spectacular eruption and Stuart Klipper's images of open spaces exemplify some of these issues.
As a modern-day explorer in the American West, Karen Halverson balances natural and man-made beauty in "Hite Crossing, Lake Powell, Utah" (1988). Leaving her camera shutter open for a long time blured the waters of Lake Powell. The unexpected brightness of the sandstone shore in the foreground comes from the headlights of the photographer's car. This artificial light is a reminder, as is the ironic title of this work, that the West is not the untouched place of popular imagination. The Glen Canyon Dam formed Lake Powell and flooded a once-thriving town where settlers could cross the Colorado River by ferry.
In "Burning Railroad Tie, Burlington Cut near Catherine Creek, Klickitat County, Washington" (1987/printed 1988), Terry Toedtemeier photographs the railroad bed along the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. The subject was first photographed by Watkins in 1867 and has remained largely unchanged. Toedtemeier's version includes surreal effects such as a smoking railroad tie that seems to have ignited for no apparent reason and the hulking shadow of a rock monolith.
Other regions of the United States are equally captivating to photographers. A major theme in William Christenberry's art is the tension between past and present that is felt in the modern South. In "Red Soil and Kudzu—near Moundville, Alabama" (1980/printed 1981), Christenberry, a native Alabaman, fills more than half the frame with kudzu vine, leaving the viewer wondering about what is underneath.
Allen Hess also examines the past's role in the present in his photographs of the South. "Oak Alley Plantation, River Road, Vacherie, Louisiana" (1983/printed 1989) presents orderly ranks of veteran live oaks that converge symmetrically on the 2-story high white columns of an antebellum Greek Revival plantation house along Louisiana's Great River Road. Frozen in time, the house is suspended between the storied past and its current reincarnation as a bed and breakfast.
Terry Evans is concerned with how Americans use and change the land. She photographed the prairie for more than 25 years, working from a small plane at low altitudes to evoke the Edenic innocence of virgin Kansas prairie, as in "Konza Prairie" (1982). The trace of a pick-up trail across the upper part of the frame reminds viewers that Konza Prairie is a carefully managed preserve in the midst of acres of farmland.
In "Hawaii IV," from the portfolio "Hawaii" (1978/printed 1980), Richard Misrach reveals a different side of nature, one in which complexity, density and impenetrability are virtues. Using artificial lighting at night and a large presentational format enabled Misrach to show abstract random patterns created by vegetation.
To accompany the exhibition, the Smithsonian American Art Museum is publishing a lavishly illustrated souvenir book, "The Land Through a Lens: Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum," written by Andy Grundberg, administrative chair of the photography department at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. The book features 52 color illustrations and brief discussions of the individual artworks in the exhibition.

In place of the Off Topic post tonight, I thought I'd post this music. I was reminded of this excellent theme when watching those GamePro TV episodes from earlier. Man, I loved the theme to the first Tomb Raider. Listening to this was an extreme nostalgia trip.
What other 90s games had menu music that you loved? Do you think the rest of the music in Tomb Raider as good as the main menu music? Talk about music, 90s games, or anything else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and watch out for that T-Rex.
