Yes i agree, Windows does have alot of flaws, and i am thinking, so Windows must be the worst OS to buy, but think about it, the only real contender to Windows is Mac which i think is a very tricky OS to get use to. And it costs way too much even though its standard features lack functionality, And linux seems to be the safest by far. The fact that Linux is the safest is not because it is flawless in the programming, but because there is not that many peopl who use it. Because at least 89% of the world's population use Windows of course the odds of getting a windows virus is higher!
But i haven't used Linux, i was going to, until i realised :
How am i going to learn and adapt and learn new techniques for every Function on Linux. I mean, i wouldnt know how to create a text document or how to browse the internet. Not after all these hard years of learning programming and learning to use a Windows Pc properly am i going to give it up and start again on a new OS!#
So what i want to ask is, would any of you consider usinh Linux and learning new tricks, or would you keep what you are good with? And if you do have linux, explain why it is better than the rest or is it isnt? thanks

The Future of ParseTree
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
ParseTree is a library that allows to access the parse tree of Ruby code - either Ruby source code or Ruby code already loaded in the interpreter.
Ryan Davis, who is one of the developers behind ParseTree, now makes it clear in a post on ParseTree's future:
ParseTree is dead on ruby 1.9 and there is no plan to make it work.
Because of changes to internals in 1.9, ParseTree simply can not work. I asked for hooks/options to allow us to get to the information but they never arrived.
Specifically if you're using ParseTree to access the AST of a live method/block/proc, you're SOL. If you're just using ParseTree to do static analysis, then you can switch to
ruby_parser in about a minute of work and you're good to go.
While ParseTree continues to work fine on Ruby 1.8.x, it won't work on Ruby 1.9.1. There are solutions for parts of ParseTree's functionality, though. Ruby 1.9.x comes with Ripper, which allows to parse Ruby code and analyze their parse trees.
ruby_parser is a Ruby parser written in Ruby (by Ryan Davis); the output is the same as ParseTree's output. Static Analysis tools that work on source are best served by switching to ruby_parser, mostly because it doesn't require code changes (ruby_parser's output is the same as ParseTree's). Ruby_parser also provides source locations of AST nodes, which is obviously necessary for code analysis or code transformation tools in Ruby. Using ruby_parser also allows these tools to be used across all Ruby implementations - ParseTree is only available for MRI (a mostly complete version for JRuby exists, but lacks some runtime features).
However, there is one feature that ruby_parser can't provide: return the parse tree of Ruby code loaded in an interpreter. Some libraries make use of this feature to analyze Ruby code at runtime. One of them is Merb's action arguments, which look at the formal arguments of a method. The feature a was already ported to JRuby without the use of ParseTree. Now, a port to Ruby 1.9.1 is available with the methopara project. Methopara came from work by YARV creator Sasada Koichi and members of asakusa.rb, one of Tokyo's Ruby user groups. The methopara project brings a new API to Ruby 1.9.1:
This gem is only for Ruby-1.9.1. Because Ruby18x have merb-action-args, and Ruby-1.9.2 and its successors will have built-in Method#parameters.
Do you use ParseTree? Can you switch to ruby_parser or is the lack of ParseTree on 1.9.x a problem?

How we replaced ParseTree in Ruby 1.9
Seamus Abshere
# Ruby 1.8 with ParseTree gem
# Ruby 1.9 with sourcify gem (may raise MultipleMatchingProcsPerLineError or NoMatchingProcError if you have nested procs)
# Ruby 1.9 with sourcify gem (giving it a little help finding the right Proc)
proc.to_source :attached_to => :name_of_proc_in_code
Here's how my company replaced ParseTree in Ruby 1.9. I hope that helps!

Allegheny Valley School Celebration
Guests gathered at the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh for Allegheny Valley School's Celebration 2008, put together by Bonnie Walker/Creative Affairs. Attendees sipped on cocktails while excitedly awaiting the main event: a performance by ventriloquist, singer, comedian, celebrity impressionist, and winner of 2007's America's Got Talent, Terry Fator. "He wowed the audience with his talent," says chief development officer Dorothy Hunter Gordon. "We were so delighted by and grateful for the community support at the event." The event raised $240,000 to benefit the Capital Development Fund to support the children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Photos by Megan WylieRead More

UpcomingFebruary 28, 2008
Ah yes, that unmistakable smell of conference season is in the air. A few places I'll be making an appearance in coming weeks:
I seriously considered not attending this year. It seems there's a growing feeling amongst those who have been going for years that this event is getting to be a bit too much to handle, especially with the plethora of other web conferences that have sprung up in the past few years in their more intimate settings.
But, I'll be there after all! Paul Hammond invited me to be the "independent contractor" or "designer" or "hardly qualified, but maybe we'll get a few good stories out of him anyway" voice on his panel about collaboration during web projects. Don't let the web app focus in the title fool you, I don't do nearly enough of those to be that specific about the type of projects I've collaborated with others on; I'll be drawing from the experience I've had plugging myself into established teams, and working with clients directly. With a line up of three super-smart Brits and a talented Aussie, plus the token Canadian, come and see the Commonwealth throw down on Tuesday afternoon.
(And this year I'll be feeling Jeremy's plight, as it's looking increasingly like that room at the Hampton is going to be single occupancy. Sadly, Lauren probably won't make it this year, so if I'm a little distracted during any hallway chatter, it's not you! I promise!)
- An Event Apart
When Jeffrey and Eric asked me to come speak at an earlier event, it pained me that circumstances didn't work out. I have never been to An Event Apart, and I've really really been wanting to go for some time now.
Happily, the latter part of April was clear for me, and I'll be heading down to join what looks like is going to be a crazy-good New Orleans date. My talk, "Living, Breathing Design", will be a look at how web sites change and grow during and after the design process, and how we can choose to add growth into our work. As always, expect lots of design and code talk.
(psst… and if you haven't registered yet, the magic code is AEADSCSS. It's $50 in your pocket. Use it.)
While I'm at it, a few more things I've been meaning to mention in some capacity or another for a while now (funny how far off the wagon you fall when running a conference of your own):
- Rosenfeld Media's First Book: Mental Models
This one is particularly close to my heart as I've been working with Lou for the past few years, and during that time witnessed his publishing company evolve from a concept to reality. We were very privileged to have Indi Young, the author of Mental Models, join us at WDN this year, and early reviews have pegged this one as a winner. If you grab a copy, make sure to use the code FOSHEA10 for a small discount.
- The Lab with Leo
Back in November I went in and did an interview with Leo Laporte, which is now up on Google Video. It's just a basic overview of CSS, and like all rapid-fire on-the-spot TV interviews there wasn't much room for nuance and error-correction as we went, so pardon the stalling for time while trying to figure out how to explain things like the history of CSS… Still, I think it came off rather well, for an introduction of a style language to the more general audience who watch the show. (Ian Lloyd, you owe me a beer.)
"(funny how far off the wagon you fall when running a conference of your own)"
I hear ya, my brotha. I hear ya.
We're really glad you're coming to New Orleans, too! We're going to have a blast, and it will be great to see you again. I think last year's SXSW might have been the last time I saw you, and that was probably for all of four minutes, what with the craziness and all.
I've been on the lookout for some good conferences in the UK would you know of any?
@Media - http://vivabit.com/atmedia2008/london/
d.construct - http://2008.dconstruct.org/
FOWD - http://www.futureofwebdesign.com/
Highland Fling - http://thehighlandfling.com/
It's strange that I'll likely see you in Texas before we bump into each other across town at Workspace :)
I have to give a +1 for both Mental Models and Rosenfeld Media's site. Ordering was painless, and before the print version arrived I had a full PDF to start into, for that immediate gratification feeling. Luckily I have a brand new project to start applying some of Indi's methods, which doesn't too often coincide with learning new techniques. While I can't offer a conclusion yet I can say the book and Louis's site are worth checking out.
Good job on your interview. Leo is such a great guy and a geek icon.
Good interview. I was at WDN08 this year, awesome conference, hope to make it next year.
Just got done watching you with Leo on Google video and I think you did a great job and it was good interview.
Dave are you coming to @Media London?
Are there any webdesign conferences in Dubai or in the Arabian World planned which are worth to visit? Although lots of designer seem to emigrate to Dubai I couldn't find any conferences or meetings there yet. Maybe it is worth to organize such an event there.
Ooohhh! Leo Laporte! God, I miss that show! I can no longer find it on our local cable channel. Anyways, good job on your interview.
I just saw your interview / video with Leo Laporte and followed to CSS Zen Garden! Wow this is so amazing what can be done with CSS. I´m realy impressed and try to get into it more to start to build my own sites up from scratch! I think i´ll just hang around here for a while browsing your archive … Thanks Dave.

At last! I think the worst part of it all was the feeling that they could
do whatever they wanted, without even trying to hid it (the Qatar
WC thing was the last drop), and with total impunity. I do not know
if they will finally manage to get Blatter, but at least now you can
hope they will think it twice before at least the most evident and
outrageous stuff. Well done, FBI!

+1. 'Lobbyists' are the bagmen of the white hat wealthy. Much like insurance and equities brokers, lobbyists take a bigger cut than bookies. Despite that, they're held in higher regards based on how the laws of the land are written.
I guess the only thing that really distinguishes the lobbyist from the bag man is that the bag man's pillow case full of greenbacks buys certainty- it doesn't have to pass popular sentiment to equal money well spent. It's a pretty brilliant loophole in our democratic system; maybe FIFA's status quo would be better served if the bag man registered as a 'Lobbyist'.

I heard there's a NY connection to the scandal.
FIFA hired a NY lawyer named Garcia who wrote a
report for them (on FIFA corruption, I guess)
which FIFA dissed. So Garcia ran to the US
Attorney General (not sure if it's Holder or
Lynch), a crony, and spilled the beans.
Doesn't Jack Warner get 10% of everything Team USA
takes in?
How corrupt is FIFA? Are games fixed? The one
thing I don't like is building all these stadiums.
For example, you'd think Brazil would have had
enough soccer stadiums to stage a World Cup.
Many are saying that USA is pushing this to get
Qatar's World Cup.

The Boston Marathon is an event known around the world for attracting the best distance runners. But the majority of participants run for a cause, something greater than just the race itself.
That will be the case for Beverly native Andrew Frates this year, as he plans to take on one of the world's most famous courses on April 17 in the 121st running of the historic event.
Frates will compete in the 26.2-mile run for his brother, Pete, a local icon who has become the face of ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, for being the inspiration behind the Ice Bucket Challenge that has raised millions to find a cure for the disease. Pete was diagnosed with ALS five years ago.
"I've been training since September for this race. I decided I wanted to run it pretty much this time last year," said Andrew.
"One of the assistant coaches on the BC baseball team ran for my brother [in 2016], and the year before Boston Herald sports columnist Steve Buckley also ran for Pete.
"The torch has now been passed. Last year when I saw BC coach Greg Sullivan run, I knew my decision was made."
Frates and the rest of his family all completely changed their lifestyles, when Pete was diagnosed five year ago. All three quit their jobs to solely help Pete, and begin the process to raise awareness for ALS.
"Prior to Pete being diagnosed, our family knew nothing about ALS. We thought it was an older man's disease," said Andrew. "Once Pete got it, we received a crash course on the worst disease in mankind. Since then, I quit my job doing IT sales. My dad quit his, and my mom hers in order to come together to raise awareness and take care of Pete.
"The family mission of raising advocacy and money for ALS was in full effect," added Andrew.
The Frates family has done an incredible job raising money for ALS, most notably with the aforementioned Ice Bucket Challenge, which went viral several years ago.
"The first Boston athlete to do it was Greg Campbell. He was a forward for the Bruins. But the Patriots' Julian Edelman was a catalyst behind it, along with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron of the Bruins," said Andrew.
"The high profile Boston athletes really made this thing catapult to the stratosphere that it did."
The Challenge started off as a big hit in Boston, but when survivors of the Marathon bombing sent a request to Justin Timberlake to take part in it, it went worldwide.
The Frates family created the "Team Frate Train" fundraiser to help raise support for Pete and the disease as a whole.
Andrew's mom, Nancy, has served as the spokeswoman of the team ever since Pete lost his voice from ALS. She has spoken at numerous events around the country.
During one of her speaking engagements at the 2015 Endicott College graduation, Dr. Richard Wylie, the college's president, made a surprise announcement.
"After my mom spoke at the graduation in May 2015, Doc (Wylie) came up to my mom to thank her, and said by the way they were going to name a dorm after Pete. Then, we went to the groundbreaking for Pete's dorm that September. My mom spoke again, and Doc then told her that Pete's baby daughter, Lucy, will be given a full scholarship to attend Endicott. He's been a great supporter of us, along with the entire Endicott family, even though no one in our family went there. We are thankful for Doc and Endicott, who have stepped up for us."
Frates, who is now working at Celebrity Marketing in Boston, has been training for next month's Marathon since last September. He already knows something about the sport after participating in it, when he was a student at St. John's Prep in Danvers. The Prep came to his aid, and gave him a transitional job after he left his IT position to devote more time to his brother.
Frates enjoys running on Hale Street in Beverly, which has fantastic views of the ocean, not to mention the newest dorm at Endicott – Pete Frates Hall.
Andrew will be sporting a newly designed tank top for the race.
"I'm working with a graphic designer to release a new logo for Team Frate Train, and am planning to wear it on a special tank top, along with my bro's inspiration. For me personally, I lost two good friends early on in my life. They are also going to be on my shirt for added inspiration," he said.
Look out for Andrew and his fancy tank top on April 17 at the start of the race in Hopkinton.
The Frates family is sure to be along the route supporting Andrew, as he runs for his brother and others afflicted with ALS.

About the cameras
What are camera traps?
The challenge of trapping animals on film
While the device itself is not complicated, getting the film developed is. Because the cameras are placed in such remote locations, it often takes a full day to hike to each one. Cameras must also be moved occasionally because their flashes often alert animals to their presence, causing those animals to avoid the area in the future.
Due to the moist, hot climate of many of the forest locations WWF is working, the cameras often malfunction, so scientists will be lucky if two-thirds of the pictures are of any animals at all. Scientists can only achieve that rate of return in a dense forest because they do significant research before placing the cameras in order to determine the most efficient and productive locations.

Behind the camera
Important for scientific research
It is also important to remember that these pictures, while amazing in their own right, are actually scientific data that scientists will use to obtain critical information about wildlife and their habitats.

text: Biogen Idec and Gilead are two notable examples on the low end of the SG&A Expenses to Sales measure; both companies spent relatively less on marketing and promotion. The calculations are prescient: Moody's raised Biogen Idec's outlook in mid-August of this year, citing a strong operating performance and cost reductions like consolidated facilities, and a narrowed focus on multiple sclerosis; 75 percent of the company's revenues now come from the MS category. Biogen Idec grew Tysabri's worldwide sales by 31 percent ($389 million) in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 2Q 2010.

By Ewan Roberts at Emirates Stadium
Arsenal cruised to victory against a limp and lacklustre West Brom side on Saturday, earning three points courtesy of two penalties (one more legitimate than the other). It was all so very un-Arsenal, who exercised a degree of control rarely seen at the Emirates this season. Going into the match, the Gunners had picked up just three wins from their previous ten home matches (13 points from a possible 30).
But they dominated Steve Clarke's Baggies on a bitingly cold afternoon in north London, dictating possession (with 59 per cent), limiting the away side to just one shot on target and creating a host of chances themselves - many of which were spectacularly spurned by Messrs Gervinho, Olivier Giroud and even Lukas Podolski in a red-faced cameo off the bench.
West Brom were undoubtedly hampered by the late withdrawal of Claudio Yacob (absent with "a little hamstring problem," according to his manager), which meant the Gunners faced a more meek and mild midfield than they otherwise would have. The Baggies' Argentine enforcer, the type of player who is so often like kryptonite to Arsenal, has arguably been their stand-out performer this year, creating an almost impenetrable barrier alongside Youssouf Mulumbu in front of the defence.
In the ex-Racing midfielder's place was James Morrison, a more timid player, a puppy dog compared to the snarling, rabid Rottweiler that Yacob is. With Zoltan Gera anonymous in an advanced role, Arsenal outnumbered and overawed the Baggies' midfield, leaving Mulumbu to fight fires in vain.
In uncharacteristic fashion, West Brom unfurled the white flag after Mikel Arteta's second goal and never mounted anything resembling a fight back. With the solid, tenacious Yacob-Mulumbu pivot broken up, the Baggies lost their edge. But Arsenal are unlikely to face such brittle and accommodating opposition again this season, and question marks remain over their ability to overcome tougher, meaner, more uncompromising sides.
As a central midfield trio, Arteta, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere are fluid, cultured and creative, but they're also lightweight, contributing to a soft core that hasn't been solidified since the departure of Alex Song to Barcelona (perhaps longer even, since Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva moved to pastures new).
Ever so briefly, Abou Diaby had appeared to fill that void after impressing at the start of the season. A more physically imposing foil for Arsenal's slight technicians, he was a major contributor to Arsenal's resolute defending and compact core – in the 344 minutes Diaby played in the league, Arsenal conceded just once. They've conceded over a goal a game without him.
But Diaby, it turns out, is as fragile as the little magicians that populate Arsenal's squad and whom he is supposed to protect. The rangy French midfielder has been out of action since September, and didn't start a single match for Arsenal for the entirety of the 2011-12 season. The Gunners cannot rely on him and instead need a fitter, stronger, faster version, a Diaby Mark II. Step forward Mohamed Diame.
West Ham's Senegalese powerhouse has been in impressive form for the Hammers this season, and the revelation from chairman David Gold that the French-born midfielder has a release clause in his contract has alerted a number of clubs, not least Arsenal. As exclusively revealed by Goal.com, Arsene Wenger considers Diame to be a good value January target.
The 25-year-old possesses the qualities Arsenal's midfield currently lacks: power, directness, strength, aggression. Like Diaby, he can anchor the midfield and protect his defence (he's averaged 4.1 tackles per game, the second most in the league), but he's also confident in a box-to-box capacity, energetically striding up and down the pitch. He's comfortable in a possession-orientated side too, having spent three years with Roberto Martinez at Wigan.
Diame, more substance than style, would offer an alternative type of player for Wenger, whose squad is criminally one dimensional. Arteta has been forced deeper in Diaby's absence, while the defensive midfield alternatives only consist of Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey, neither of whom can dominate the middle third in the manner Diame can and offer little variation. There are no angry men, no ball breakers.
There is no plan B for Arsenal in midfield, simply more of the same. But Diame's more direct, lateral, Sam Allardyce-inspired route one style would offer a different kind of threat for opposition defences to try and contend with – but Wenger must be prepared to embrace a player somewhat at odds with his philosophy, a gritty, tough-tackling, "anti-football"-stylised hard man. He showed against Chelsea what a blustering, all-consuming ball of energy he can be off the bench, inspiring West Ham to a 3-1 win with his zealous performance.
The imperious Iron could also bring greater freedom to Arsenal's attackers. Arteta has been shackled in his deeper role and has recorded just one assist in his last 14 games. Likewise, Cazorla has one assist from his previous 12 games. Arsenal are lacking central penetration, their attacking midfielders are positioned too deep and have become wrought with a sense of responsibility to defend. Diame would enable them to get forward with greater abandon.
Bewitching craft and sustained possession alone do not win football matches, and Arsenal are woefully short of the bullishness, aggression, passion and directness required when that isn't working. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, and Diame is the Humpty Dumpty-crushing, shell-shattering punisher that can bring more steel to Arsenal's flaccid midfield while all the king's horses and all the king's men struggle to put Diaby back together again.

Los Angeles City Council Commends Gardein for its Support of Meatless Monday
Leading Maker of Great-Tasting Meat-Free Foods Helps Local Residents Get 'Swept off Their Meat'
Dec 11, 2012, 06:19 ET
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles City Council today recognized Gardein, the revolutionary brand that is transforming America's table, for its commitment to providing delicious, meat-free foods and sharing the importance of Meatless Monday with Los Angeles residents.
Gardein and the Los Angeles City Council are collaborating to show how everyone can enjoy tasty meat-free options for Meatless Monday, a national initiative designed to help people eat healthier and reduce their impact on the environment.

"Gardein is thrilled to partner with Los Angeles City Council in support of Meatless Monday to show there's a better way for people looking to take care of themselves and the planet," said Yves Potvin, Gardein founder and president.

Made with soy, grains and natural ingredients, Gardein's center-of-plate foods easily replace traditional protein in any meal or recipe, from signature Seven Grain Crispy Tenders to the Ultimate Beefless Burger, all of which have no cholesterol, with less fat and calories than traditional proteins.
"By encouraging Los Angeles residents to go meat-free on Mondays, we hope to raise more awareness of the food we eat and the simple ways we can affect our environment and our personal health," said Councilmember Perry. "I thank Gardein for stepping up to the challenge and highlighting one way to support this effort. And, I am delighted that they have chosen Los Angeles as the location to open the doors of their new tasting kitchen."
"Taking care of our health should always be our No. 1 priority," adds Councilmember Reyes. "I'm pleased that an award-winning brand like Gardein is partnering with the City of Los Angeles to help fulfill our mission to educate people about the delicious and nutritious versions of food we love to eat that are kinder to our bodies, the animals and the environment."

Duke survived a wild finish at Yankee Stadium for its first bowl victory in 54 years.
Ross Martin kicked a 36-yard field in overtime, and Duke held off Indiana 44-41 on Saturday night in the Pinstripe Bowl in New York.
"Absolutely ecstatic," Martin said. "It couldn't have happened in a better way, overtime. I think we're four for four for the most exciting bowl games every year. So it's finally good to jump around the locker room and celebrate up on stage. That's incredible for the entire program."

VANCOUVER, B.C. – What better way for the Vancouver Whitecaps to start season two than a goal from Sébastien Le Toux?
The club's biggest offseason offensive acquisition took only four minutes to score what would turn out to be the game winner in Vancouver's 2-0 opening day win over the Montreal Impact on Saturday afternoon.
As it turns out, that early strike was the fastest ever scored in a Major League Soccer season opener.
"If you wrote it up any way you wanted, you'd definitely want an early goal," head coach Martin Rennie told reporters after the win. "That definitely settles the nerves and gives confidence, because Montreal started the first few minutes well and then we caught them on the other end of it, so it was a welcome goal and definitely a big part of the win."
WATCH: Rennie, DeMerit delighted with win
The Frenchman likes to make good first impressions – he scored an early goal as part of a hat trick on his debut two years ago for the Philadelphia Union against D.C. United.
"It was a great start," Le Toux told MLSsoccer.com on Saturday. "I couldn't dream of a better start here, but the win is the most important thing."
For Le Toux, getting off the mark early in the 2012 season should ease the pressure – he started 2011 slowly with only one goal in his first 22 games.
"Last year, it took 22 games to score my second goal," Le Toux said. "All of you [media] were on my back because I wasn't scoring a goal in the games, but I always say the most important thing is the win and I'm going to say the same thing tonight."
Le Toux seemed to chase every ball and forced Montreal's defenders into errors on a number of occasions.
"He's so hard-working," Rennie said. "When we didn't have the ball, he found a man every time. If any of the other guys were out of position, Sébastien was the guy who filled in.
"Those things go unnoticed sometimes, but to me, those are absolutely key to our team and if we're going to be any good we're going to have to have guys like him who work that hard, and everybody did it today, but he definitely covers a lot of ground."
Le Toux also played a part alongside Eric Hassli and Davide Chiumiento in the buildup to Camilo's 54th-minute left-footed strike. Despite not playing much with Hassli in preseason, the pair seemed to link up well right from the start, as it was Hassli's header which put Le Toux in for the opener.
"He's really smart," Hassli said of Le Toux's performance. "A lot of movement – he knows my quality and I know his quality. He can run, or stay behind me. It's a pleasure to play with him."

Triathlons Help Train Winemaker for Harvest
Rob Davis of Jordan Winery Uses Endurance Races to Train for the Wine Harvest
Most people train for endurance races, but Rob Davis, the winemaker at Jordan Winery in Healdsburg, Calif., uses endurance races to train for the annual wine harvest.
During harvest, which typically starts between the first and third weeks of September, Mr. Davis often pulls 18- to 24-hour workdays. He's out in the fields tasting and picking grapes, operating cranes to weigh fruit and manning fermentation barrels. To prepare for the nearly two months of intense labor, the 60-year-old winemaker trains for triathlons....

Sometimes taxonomists create new names for groups that already have a name. They may do this because they are unaware of the original name, or they may think the organism before them belongs to a different group when in fact it does not. If two or more names are found to apply to the same group, they are considered synonyms. In most cases, the first name takes priority and is considered to be the valid or accepted name. However, there can be exceptions, and it's not always easy to determine which of a series of synonyms should be considered valid or accepted. Here we list the synonyms provided to EOL by our classification partners. We also include other versions of the name that most likely refer to the same group, for example, misspellings in the literature or different variations of the authorship associated with the name.

I'm mild mannered and won't freely swear in real life. Though that changes when I play Black Ops. Those games will always bring out the inner foul mouth monster in me.
Whenever it's me that pulls a kill I exclaim, 'Bitch, stay down.'
Or a tricky guy, 'Bitch.'
Or, 'You liked that din't you?'
But when I get shot I give them a clap or say good work. So I'm kinda a sport, only when I loose.
So when you become potty-mouthed, what do you say in a game?
I shall GB...Sorry not enough of it apparently. My word will be made better....
"Your mother is a hamster and our father smells of elderberries."
"As King Arthur said: Don't f**k with a goddamn wizard."
"Great job on killing me, you should be proud...Oh, wait. I forgot, it was actually YOU who died! Ha, sorry, man. Didn't mean to get your hopes up."
Insert Witty Bullshit Here
if i'm battling and the oponent cheats (sometimes they do in soul caliber...i'll hit them but there will be no damage to them whatsoever) and i'll just say "what the f*ck!" and then just start yelling "i'll kill you mother f*cker!" or "die you damn asshole!"
or if i somehow die in some other game (like okami or twilight princess) and it'll just be a compltely random death, i'll say "f*cking retard!" lol. as if it's the characters fault i didn't stop before accidentally jumping off the cliff into the abyss.
i'll even get a temper sometimes and just chuck the controller at the tv and yell "f*ck you then!" and then turn the game off
LET'S WASTE TIME...or....LET'S JUST GET WASTED!!! XD
Please don't note the irony what I'm about to say, but words are cheap. Just be a good spotsman and fight. Taunting and cursing is awfully childish, and the most I've ever done was teabag a camper.
Only when I rage. I'm normally the one who always says GG after a win or loss, and I never comment when I kill or die apart from "ooh, that was nice" if either I or the person who killed me gets a nice shot or something. But when I'm raging, I'll be calling everyone things along the lines of "motherfucking cheap ass try-harding cunt sucking bitch shitheads" and then shout "FUCKING SHIT". That only occurs on MW2, though.
*****Completely inactive, no other accounts*****
I'll just all the expressions I get when playing Dark Souls for the first time
You gotta be [email protected]#$1*&% kidding me! - Mimic/traps/random tumble to death
What the [email protected]! - Weird boss attack
Oh holy crap! - when startled by something
Wow this bitch "insert random words" - When pvping against someone
Shitty noobs - against fog ring users (easy win)
well I guess I don't curse at all >.<
The difference is summer and winter
I usually just mute the other players.
Don't really taunt others in games. Never saw the point in it.
Doing...absolutely nothing.
I love taunting xD
Goddamn philistine

|Hand Crafted Metal Angels
|Glowing Cross
If you wander through the newer sections of some Midwestern cemeteries, you may see a few wire or metal pieces; sculptured and shaped, positioned near graves. These may take the form of crosses, hearts, angels, even fish.
|Free Form Heart
|Metal Flower
Many wire pieces have been purchased from garden supply stores and used as a special tribute to the person buried there. But some have been lovingly, and patiently, hand–crafted.
|Elaborate Metal Cemetery Entrance
|Arched Metal Cemetery Entrance
There is something permanent yet graceful about using wire or iron. This could be why so many older cemeteries have the names spelled out in metal with simple or elaborate gates and arches at the entrances.
|Silver Metal Crosses
|Black Iron Cross
For many years, iron or metal crosses were used instead of the more traditional wooden or stone markers.
|Hook for Flowers
|Heart with Flags
Some pieces consist of a shepherds crook from which to hang flowers – or flags.
|Black Iron Heart
|Iron Heart
Other pieces have been fashioned out of iron and pounded into the desired shape.
|Heart with Name
|Initials with Flowers
Bendable wire is the main material used, the shapes come from someone's desire to share a little bit about the deceased…a name, or initials.
|Hand Crafted Metal Fish
A hobby, such as fishing, may be sculpted from metal.
|Hook with Hummingbird
|Hook with Bird
Birds may indicate the grave of a bird-lover.....
|Joined Birds
|Metal Sculpted Birds
Or the soul taking wing to soar......
|Chain Fashioned into Hook
|Metal Flywheel
Even unusual metal objects that depicted someone's profession, or the tools of their trade have been used.
|Metal Message in Heart
Sometimes a heart-felt message is left…
|Hearts and Cross
|Metal Hat & Flowers on Hooks
In some cemeteries, these folk art remembrances abound.
|May 22, 1920
|Cemetery without Metal Pieces
In others, there's not a trace of them.
|Hand Crafted Heart
But all of these cemetery folk art pieces are a way to tell a story about someone; or maybe a way to assist the craftsman in dealing with the loss of someone special – a tribute to them, a remembrance.
~ Joy
The idea of this blog post came about after two very dear friends took my husband and I to the graves of their premature triplets. They wanted more than just a stone with names and a date, but weren't sure what. After some consideration they decided on angels. The result was three detailed wire angel sculptures the father hand crafted individually and then joined together – two boys with blue ribbon halos, and one girl with a white halo.
The father also crafted the three joined fish for his grandfather who was a fisherman. Both metal sculptures - lasting labors of love.

The School Committee expressed gratitude Wednesday night after Town Manager Daniel J. Morgado increased his fiscal 2014 school budget recommendation by nearly $870,000. Even with the proposed increase in school funding, a budget gap of $3.19 million and the potential for teacher layoffs still loom over the coming fiscal year, which begins July 1.
School Committee members have yet to vote on a revised budget recommendation to present to town meeting voters next month as the possibility of a Proposition 2-1/2 tax override has muddled the overall budget forecast.
The School Committee voted unanimously to increase full-day kindergarten and preschool tuition by 15 percent next year, but members said they are not increasing transportation fees at this time as they seek to add stability to an already volatile budget season.
At a meeting of the Board of Selectmen Tuesday night, Mr. Morgado recommended revising his initial fiscal 2014 school budget recommendation from $50.22 million to $51.09 million. The revised recommendation is an increase of $1.22 million or 2.45 percent over the current school budget of $49.86 million. Mr. Morgado said the additional $869,729 being added to the school budget is the result of revised revenue and expenditure assumptions.
School Committee Chairman Erin H. Canzano thanked Mr. Morgado and selectmen Wednesday night for the increase in funding. She said the School Committee currently has no new information on a revised budget and will not discuss how much of an operational override it is seeking until it meets with the Finance Committee tonight.
The School Committee previously approved a fiscal 2014 budget of $54.28 million — a $4.4 million budget increase or 8.85 percent over the current budget. After selectmen told school officials at a meeting last month the town does not have the revenue to meet their request, School
Superintendent Joseph M. Sawyer presented two revised budget requests.
He presented a "carry forward" budget increase of $2.5 million, which would maintain existing staffing levels and class sizes. He also presented a proposed "reduction budget" increase of $1.37 million.
Mr. Sawyer cautioned School Committee members that a budget increase of $1.37 million would be insufficient to maintain the current school program because of fixed-cost increases, out-of-district tuition costs and cuts in state Chapter 70 and circuit breaker funding.
Mr. Sawyer said cuts of up to 23 full-time teaching positions would be required and school officials "would have a hard time running the buildings" with that budget option. School Committee members are still weighing which budget option to present at town meeting next month, but said all revenue sources are on the table to avoid additional teacher layoffs.
School Committee members voted Wednesday night to increase full-day kindergarten tuition next school year from $3,200 annually per child to $3,700. They also voted to increase preschool tuition by 15 percent. Increases range based on number of days attended. Two-day enrollment will increase from $1,650 to $1,897 annually. Five-day enrollment will increase from $3,163 to $3,637 annually.
Mr. Sawyer recommended postponing any change to the transportation fee structure, saying the budget picture and the potential for an override are "too murky at this point." He said school officials should begin registering students for bus passes at the existing rate of $250 per student with a family cap of $500.
School Committee member John R. Samia said he agrees with not increasing bus fees at this time, saying families in town have reached a "saturation point" with all the fees they have to pay.
School Committee member B. Dale Magee disagreed.
"How many dollars are being removed from the school budget to subsidize bus rides?" Dr. Magee asked. He said the district can no longer afford to subsidize ridership to areas in town not mandated by state law.
He recommended increasing bus fees to fully cover the cost of transportation. School officials estimated that would cost between $450 and $500 per student with no family cap.
Mr. Samia argued that would run the risk of decreasing revenue as parents would just opt to drive their children to school. The School Committee took no action to change transportation fees.

You have never seen Laura Darley's picture on the front page of the Courier Herald. People like her rarely wind up on the front page of any newspaper. That doesn't mean that you won't recognize her if you see her. Many of you have eaten lunch with her. You may have seen her in the lunchroom at Northwest Laurens Elementary. But, if you don't know who Laura Darley is, just go over to Chick-fi-La for lunch and you'll find her patrolling the place, policing up the fallen crumbs and abandoned trays, and keeping the whole place tidy and neat, just like your grandmother would.
Laura Darley has lived in Laurens County for almost all of her eighty-five years. She grew up on a farm near Rockledge. Life was tough for Laura's parents, Ashley and Tiny Stewart, during the Great Depression. After she graduated from Wilkes High School, Laura married Johnnie Darley. They had seven children, five boys and two girls. Johnnie died way too young in 1970.
During her four decades of widowhood, Laura Darley kept on working. She worked in and outside of her home. Despite the fact that she had seven of her own children, Miss Laura took in at least five foster children, including a six-month-old baby. When she was looking after her own children, Mrs. Darley worked for almost two decades in the lunchroom at Northwest Laurens Elementary.
After leaving the school, Laura took a job at Quincy's Restaurant in Dublin. She worked along with her son Doyce, who was the one who cooked those fabulous, triple-buttered yeast rolls that put a smile on our faces and inches on our waist lines. "When I worked there, my family would always ask me to bring them some home when I got off work," Mrs. Darley, who only worked at Quincy's for a short time, fondly remembered.
Then in the middle of April in 1999, Laura's life took a change for the better. She took a job at Chick-fi-la. "I went over and applied for a job and Mr. David Roberts hired me," Laura recalled.
Roberts had a plan for Laura. "When she came in, I thought how wonderful it would be to have her as a greeter for a while, to be a grandmother to everyone," the manager recalled. She wouldn't work in the kitchen or in the drive through a window or even the front counter.
Laura's shift starts at lunch and lasts only three hours. It is her job to keep the place neat and tidy. She really doesn't mind those who leave their tables and booths in a mess. After all, it's her job to make the eating areas so clean that you wouldn't know anyone had eaten there in a while. One customer, who requested anonymity, keeps an eye on his drink, careful to move it every 20 seconds or so, to make sure Mrs. Laura doesn't come by and pluck it up. And, she does that six days a week. She reserves the seventh day for the Lord and her family.
David Roberts once thought that when she first came to work that Laura would work for only a short time. "Now, she's been here for about 12 years, and " She has only missed a handful of days and her work ethic is unmatched," Roberts continued. On some days, Mrs. Laura has to work up to the strength to get over the normal aches and pains of someone her age just to make it in to work. "She is always in a good mood. She has been a blessing to us," Roberts observed of his longest serving employee.
Laura Darley will celebrate her 85th birthday on Thursday, March 31. Unless her boss gives her the day off, Laura will be working the lunch shift, just as she has for the last dozen years.
Laura Darley has no plans to quit working. "I love the people who come here," she says. "And, I will keep working as long as I can," she continued.
So, if you want to wish her a happy birthday, stop by at lunch and there you'll find Miss Laura, doing what she does best, being a grandmother who picks up your crumbs and your trash and never fusses at you.

This research is great and can help a lot of travelers who are looking for places where they can enjoy their stay without worrying about sneezing or hives or getting out of breath due to allergies or asthma.
Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2012
PURE, an allergy-friendly company with safe products designed to provide fresh sleeping and living environments throughout the world is pleased to announce that their PURE Rooms services helped Hyatt reach number 1 among the top 10 international hotel chains that cater to guests prone to allergies and asthma. This is according to a research project conducted by Sylvane, an air treatment solutions company and AllerPassMD, an independent consumer rating organization.
Other hotels in the top-ten list include Westin, Residence Inn, Four Seasons, Double Tree, Marriott, Hilton, Embassy Suites, Wyndham & Courtyard by Marriott, all mentioned from the top two to ten rankings. The rankings are based on average allergen control ratings. The main considerations were which hotel was the most effective in terms of dust and mite control, mold control, pollen control and being pet-free. Allergen control have all been made possible because of PURE's commitment to its PURE allergy-friendly hotel rooms, which includes hypo-allergenic bedding encasements and air purification systems.
According to the research, 1 in 5 Americans suffer from asthma and allergies. There are 17.9 million adults who suffer from Hay Fever and 7.1 million children. 8.6 million Children are reported to be with respiratory allergies. However, 83% of Americans said they will be traveling with their families this year. They wanted to go to the beach or another city or go camping. They even wanted to go to amusement parks or go camping outdoors. Statistics show that 78% of Americans have visited at least one country, 61% have visited multiple countries while 36% have travelled to four or more foreign destinations.
Since a lot of people love to travel even when prone to allergies, the research shows the top cities in America who have the most pollen count between February to June. From 1 to 10, this includes: St. Louis Missouri, College Station Texas, Cherry Hill New Jersey, Rochester New York, Kansas City Missouri, Tulsa Oklahoma, Lafayette Louisiana, Charlotte North Carolina and Indianapolis Indiana. PURE recommends checking out their website to check for hotels with PURE Rooms in these areas.
However, Tom Kammerer of PURE suggests that allergy sufferers should choose travel destinations where they can find first-class and allergy-friendly hotels such as Denver, Washington, Tampa, Dallas and Albuquerque. According to Kammerer: "This research is great and can help a lot of travelers who are looking for places where they can enjoy their stay without worrying about sneezing or hives or getting out of breath due to allergies or asthma."
PURE is all about making lives better, that's why they create solutions for health conscious individuals who like to travel. The results of this survey are a milestone for the company and part of their strategy is to expand the destinations and accommodations that cater to the needs of travelers who are prone to allergies and asthma.

ORCUTT, Calif. — Small-town folks struggling to put up a monument to veterans: It sounds like something straight out of "Mayberry R.F.D.," but for residents of this Central Coast town, it feels more like "Catch-22."
After three years, the privately funded $60,000 monument, which is sponsored by the American Legion and would be placed on a sliver of land owned by the California Department of Transportation, is still unbuilt. The sticking point has been opposition from Caltrans to the monument's use of the American flag and the agency's apparent reluctance to allow the display of words — such as "United States" — on the monument's military emblems.
The issue surfaced last week before the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, which sent a letter to Caltrans urging it to let the flag "stand tall in the center of this beautiful monument."
In an interview, Peter Adam, the supervisor representing Orcutt, was unequivocal about the idea of striking the flag from a veterans monument: "That's a degree of crazy we shouldn't allow."

WASHINGTON – Appearing before two congressional committees in closed-door sessions, former CIA Director David Petraeus did little to dispel the partisan divide over whether Obama administration officials misled the public in the days after heavily armed militants killed four Americans in Benghazi,Libya, lawmakers said Friday.
Petraeus told the House and Senate intelligence committees that he believed almost immediately that the Sept. 11 assault was an organized terrorist attack, according to lawmakers and staff sources. But he said the administration initially withheld suspicion that extremists with links to al Qaeda were involved to avoid tipping off the terrorist groups.
Petraeus also said some early intelligence reports appeared to support Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, when she said five days after the deadly raid that it had grown out of a protest that was hijacked by extremists, comments that some Republicans contend were meant to downplay the significance of the attack before the election. Even now, the intelligence community has evidence that some attackers were motivated by protests earlier that day in Cairo over an anti-Islamic video, sources familiar with the intelligence said.
"The general completely debunked the idea that there was some politicization of the process," said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank).

Precepts as Prescription – Part 1
The great teachings of Buddhism fall into two main categories: description and prescription. Many of the ancient texts and utterances of the Ancestors are descriptions of reality, such as Suzuki Roshi's "Things as it is" or Matsuoka Roshi's "Round and rolling, slippery and slick." It is difficult to impossible to apply these directly to our practice, as they reflect a ...Read More »

On the evening of July 2, Bill Bentinck, 87, was led from his Palm Springs home in handcuffs, in mourning and in shock.
The body of his wife of 25 years, Lynda, was still in the house, but there was no time to grieve. After telling police that his terminally ill wife had chosen to disconnect her oxygen supply and put an end to her suffering from emphysema, he was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Bentinck, a straight-talking man in the Jimmy Stewart mold, felt that he had made a difficult but compassionate choice in honoring his wife's last wish and not reconnecting the oxygen. But police saw it differently, and Bentinck, a retired entomologist and medical equipment designer, was about to endure a nightmarish three-day ordeal.
Bentinck was marched with other inmates late one night through a Banning jail compound in a jumpsuit and slippers that kept falling off. His pleas for help with a medical condition were repeatedly ignored, he said, and it took 24 hours before he was taken to a hospital for a catheterization, which is the only way he can empty his bladder. At the county jail in Banning, another inmate schooled him on racial divisions, explaining which toilets were for whites. And during one jail transfer, he was in leg irons.
Maybe, he joked, they thought a man of nearly 90 would break out and terrorize half of Riverside County.
And then, on July 5, the Twilight Zone experience came to an abrupt end. After spending time in three different jails, Bentinck was released when the Riverside County district attorney's office decided there was insufficient evidence to try him for murder or for aiding, encouraging or advising his wife to commit suicide.
And so Bentinck went home to an empty house to deal with both his grief about his wife's death and his anger at the way he was treated. There have been no apologies from police, nor any explanations of why he was arrested.
Sgt. Mike Kovaleff, a Palm Springs police spokesman, told me the case is technically still open pending toxicology results. He said the arrest was made because of unspecified "statements" and "evidence," but he added that, barring unexpected developments, police do not expect to re-arrest Bentinck.
The mere possibility of new charges has Bentinck terrified of speaking out against police. But he did tell me, in great detail, what happened on July 2 and in the days leading up to the death of Lynda, 77, who had worked in real estate and as a legal secretary and legislative aide before her retirement.
"The last few weeks, it had become unbearable for her," Bentinck said of his wife's breathing problems and general decline. "She'd wake up and say to herself, 'Oh my God, another day to go through like yesterday, only worse.' And she wanted to end it all. She kept asking hospice how long it was going to take and they couldn't tell her, of course, so she finally took things into her own hands."
He'd been in the kitchen on the morning of July 2, then entered the bedroom to see that Lynda had removed her nasal oxygen catheter. And he knew she was ready. They'd discussed moving to Oregon, where physician-assisted suicide is legal, and she had considered ways in which she could take her own life without his being complicit.
"I said, 'Are you sure you want to do this? It's probably not too late to stop without any kind of serious damage.' And she said, 'Oh, yes. Please, don't resuscitate. And don't let anyone in here resuscitate me.'"
She asked him to post her advance healthcare directive not to resuscitate on the bedroom mirror for any paramedics to see. Bentinck said he and his wife then held hands and professed their love for each other. After a while, she stopped breathing.
"It was a very peaceful death," Bentinck said. "She didn't struggle at all. She just went to sleep."
After Lynda stopped breathing, Bentinck waited a long time to call hospice. Maybe two hours or longer, he said, telling me he wanted to make sure paramedics couldn't revive her. She had made clear she didn't want to end up "half brain-dead," he said.
That may have been one factor in the arrest of Bentinck. Another was that he told police he had given his wife three or four shots of vodka the morning of her death, per her request. The alcohol gave her some relief in her final weeks, he said, and hospice workers didn't talk him out of the practice.
After the death, the hospice agency notified the coroner, and as a matter of routine, the coroner called the police. Soon, Bentinck had several officers in his home. They obtained a search warrant after some questioning, and according to Bentinck, police took a shot glass and vodka bottle as evidence, along with his wife's medication.
Bentinck's son and daughter, outraged at their father's treatment, told me they believe his honesty worked against him; he could have just said he had entered her room and discovered his wife had died. Lynda Bentinck's grieving daughter by a previous marriage said her mother was a good and loving woman who had told her recently that when her life became unbearable she would end it. And David Duffner, one of Lynda Bentinck's physicians, suggested that what happened was neither a case of suicide nor murder.
"If she said, 'Stand back, I'm going to turn off my oxygen,' in my opinion, it would be immoral to interfere with that," said Duffner. In general, he said, "we hang on too long," and the cost of extending the lives of terminally ill patients who are ready to die could "bankrupt this country."
Bentinck has been in touch with Compassion & Choices, which advocated for the Death With Dignity acts in Oregon and Washington, and said he supports more end-of-life choices for California patients and their loved ones.
"A terminal patient died. What did they expect was going to happen?" Bentinck asked of police, saying his wife's oxygen support was an intervention she had a right to refuse.
"Why should anyone have control over what a person wants to do with their own body when they're suffering?"

When Cheryl Hines wed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Saturday at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, she had no idea the wedding dress design she chose was inspired by the style of her new husband's iconic aunt, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Stew Milne/AP
Romona Keveza, who designed the strapless, pearl-beaded dress with a waltz-length skirt, was contacted by Hines shortly after Kennedy proposed. She was looking for a short dress that had Keveza's "timeless, modern style," the designer tells PEOPLE.
"I sent her some pictures and she selected three dresses, but I had a pretty good idea of what one she would pick," Keveza says. "And sure enough, the very first dress she tried on was the one she fell in love with." As it happened, the one Hines selected had several Jackie-inspired qualities, from the style to the fabric.
RELATED PHOTOS: Take a look back at summer's hottest weddings
The backstory: When Keveza started her business 14 years ago, famed Kennedy social secretary Letitia Baldrige contacted the up-and-coming designer about including some of her gowns in a book Baldrige was writing called
Legendary Brides
. Baldrige was particularly drawn to one gown with fabric created with hundreds of thousands of tiny pearls, saying, "It's very quintessential Jackie."
Keveza retired the fabric for 14 years, but brought it out of storage for a recent collection, which had Jackie-inspired elements throughout. "I don't know what happened, but I looked at [the fabric] and I thought, 'I would like to do another dress,' and just very organically, very quickly came up with this strapless, tea-length dress with the circle skirt [and] put it into my line," she says. "That is the dress that caught the eye of Cheryl Hines and lo and behold ended up being the dress she wore on her wedding day — and she didn't know any of this!"
The designer, who says Hines "was a true pleasure" to work with, notes, "It's interesting how it came full circle, [with] Letitia Baldrige, who knew Jackie so well and thought that fabric was very perfect for Jackie. I feel it's almost as though Jackie was there at her wedding, giving her blessings to Cheryl who was wearing a dress inspired by her, and to Robert Kennedy, Jr. It's quite magical in many ways."
