I had a large collection of rubbish that had accumulated in my garden shed over 20 years. Its removal was quite an
effort because of access but it was cleared in the time limit. A job well done and the site left tidy. I'm pleased with the service and will use them again.There was still quite a lot of other stuff left when my time slot expired and they had to go to the next client but they returned the next day and finished the job - at no extra charge! What fantastic service.

Chris and Rob came four times to remove all the rubbish from our workplace. Some days it was boiling hot, and it must
have been terrible, working manually in that environment, but they never complained once, and always had a smile on their faces. They worked so hard, and always went above and beyond what was expected of them. I would say the service is worth every penny! Thank you.

I am always amazed when stores start displaying Halloween merchandise in August. A part of me grunts "don't rush it people! Enjoy the rest of the summer!" while I secretly start to giggle at the prospect of gobblins and witches knocking at the door on Halloween night. Halloween is not part of our rituals where I am from. We honor the departed the day after, usually with a trip to church and a visit to the cemetary. That's heavy when you're a kid. Even if kids here only think of dressing up, I am much too happy to oblige in their "Trick Or Treat". I am even happier to make a couple of inspired Halloween treats for us, like these Taffy Crabapples.
Ever since Bill welcomed me home with a basket of crabapples upon returning from San Francisco, I have had it in my head to make little taffy crabapples. When I got an email from Brooke from Tongue And Cheeky asking me if I wanted to be part of her Trick or TrEat project, I jumped on the occasion. Not that I need an excuse to make up for Halloweens past and I certainly don't need an excuse to play with caramel.
What is Trick or TrEat? Well, today, nine favorite food, craft and lifestyle bloggers await behind nine haunted houses with an array of holiday treats created just for you. At the end of this post, you will find two of these mystery houses. To join in the holiday fun, simply click on one of the buttons and you'll be linked to the next home on the block. You can also discover all of the Trick-Or-TrEat contributors and find direct links to their posts on the Trick Or TrEat website.
We did get a bonus Halloween moment the day after I made these. The humidity and heat in South Carolina caused the taffy to bubble up, giving the crabapples an unflattering pustular look. I thought that was pretty hilarious and decided to tuck at one just to see how the taffy coating would react. It opened up like a pretty wrapper and revealed the crabapple inside giving me the perfect photo op. Who would have thought? I guess that's Halloween: you never know what is really around the corner!
Will I be nice witch or a wicked one on Halloween night? Ahahahah! Happy Halloween!
Whose houses are next to visit on the block? Check after the jump!
This is a great recipe to get the kids involved in the kitchen with you. Do prepare the taffy coating yourself (there is hot caramel and bubbling action there) but let them dip the apples and play with shaking them to let the extra caramel coating drip off. If the stems of the apples are too short or too flimsy, stab a lollipop stick right at the stem and dip. I left the taffy crabapples plain, but you can certainly roll them in chopped nuts, chopped chocolate, nonpareils, etc…
Taffy Crabapples:
Makes about 16 coated mini apples.
12 lady apples
1 cup (200gr) granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
pinch of salt
16 crabapples
wooden skewers or thin lollipop sticks to hold (optional)
Line a bkaing sheet with either some slightly greased parchment paper or a silpat. Set aside.
Place the sugar in a heavy bottom saucepan set over medium high heat. Slowly let the sugar melt and turn into caramel. This method is called a dry caramel and can be a bit tricky. If you are not comfortable with it, add up to 1/4 cup water to your saucepan and slowly bring the sugar to caramel color.
Standing back a bit, carefully add the butter, heavy cream and salt. Do not worry, it will bubble like mad. When the bubbling slows down, stir the mixture until smooth.
Carefully dip the crabapples into the hot taffy and twirl them above the pan to let the excess drip off. Place the dipped apples onto your prepared baking sheet and let set.

How do I use the fishing maps?
We have a vast amount of geographic data for each stream. Click on the points to get more information. Green points represent fishing access such as put-ins and take-outs. Purple points represent bridges or stream crossings whereby often Google StreetView is available. Red points represent USGS Stream Gauges. Where available, we have graphs for Predictive Hydrograph 7 days, Water Temperature, Observed Height (ft.) 7 days, Observed Discharge (cfs) 7 days, and Duration Hydrograph. The Duration Hydrograph is a graphical presentation of recent daily streamflow, plotted over the long-term statistics of streamflow for each day of the year.
Can I determine land ownership from the stream map?
Yes. Landownership data is included in the map. In the map legend, the type of ownership is shown while you hover or tap on the map. You will see public or private land. For public, it will tell you the agency such as Forest Service or State Park.

ART BEARS: Hopes and Fears
The first Art Bears LP, mostly made by the band formerly known as Henry Cow and completed by Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause who went on, as '[Art Bears', to investigate this short song format further over the next two years, once Henry Cow had ceased to exist. Experimenting with the song form and the productive possibilities of the recording studio, this was hailed in its time (1978) as a landmark recording, and has been constantly in demand ever since. Therefore this new version, re-mastered by Bob Drake, and sounding for the first time like the original tapes. Repackaged.

This new KDE tutorial on IBM developerWorks is designed to teach you about KDE themes: Learn how to create, save, load, and share the fundamental look and feel of the KDE environment. After completing this tutorial, you should feel confident in your ability to customize KDE to fit your personal working style. (free registration required). Update: 04/11 18:34 by D: Shailendra wrote in to inform us of a KDE Theme Contest currently sponsored by IBM developerWorks in conjunction with the tutorial, with a bounty of $2,000, $1,500 and $500 for the top three submissions. The contest runs until May 1, 2001, and submissions must be of original, previously unpublished themes (one entry per person). Note that only KDE 1 themes are eligible. Update: 04/11 19:54 by D: After a closer look at the rules I discovered that by submitting your theme you assign your copyright in the theme to IBM developerWorks. Also, the contest is only open to US residents.
The tutorial is nice but, IBM also sponsors a theme contest - that is IMHO even more important and deserves some advertisement.
Ya the lack of good kde 2 themes is one of the few complaints I have with kde. You can easily make themes that make gnome/sawfish look like crap, but themers have just been slow on the uptake. Maybe I'll have a look at the tutorial and see if I can get anything going.
Hmmm, maybe someone should talk to IBM that KDE 1.x is history and this article is not really interesting.
1) Yes, I logged in with Konq, not with Netscape or IE and it worked (surprise, surprise!)
2) This "tutorial" has six section. KDE-2 themes start at section 5 (section 6 is feedback) and has no info.
3) From the contest page:
"Themes must be original, previously unpublished, and compliant with KDE 1.1.x or 1.2 and the KDE Theme Manager; non-compliant themes will not be judged."
Thank you IBM, this tutorial is too late.
Unbelievable, we're way beyond the 2.0 release already and they start a contest for KDE 1.
Well, I couldn't have entered myself anyway, as you have to be a US citizen in order to enter the contest.
I use KDE 1 because my computer is slow(no I can't upgrade my computer, I live in a poor country) it's good to see that KDE 1 is still somewhat supported. The latter KDEs are almost usable though, it'll be good if KDE 2.2 will run good in 16 megs of memory.
With only 16MB of memory, you're better off sticking to a char-cell only environment. You can't seriously expect a modern GUI to run effectively in just that. Even if it did there would be no memory left for apps.
I'm surprised you even find KDE 1.x usable.
There are a whole range of good char-cell apps you can use for email, editing, browsing the web (w3m), reading newsgroups, etc, etc. You don't have to use a GUI to be productive when using a GUI clearly doesn't make much sense. At least with Linux you have the choice.
1.2? Was there ever a 1.2 release?
I know there was a 1.1.2. Maybe that is what they mean?
Either way, it is a worthless contest if they do not accept kde2 themes.
I looked at kdebase cvs-tags:
There is no 1.2-tag! Quite hard being compatible ;-)
I get a crash trying to use the Legacy Theme Importer with the marble3D GTK theme (search for it on gtk.t.o if you're interested). The error message says something like "GTKCurve: unknown object" (sorry, not in front of the relevant computer atm) and KControl crashes. I had to delete my .kde/share/config/kstylerc (or something, again this is from memory) to be able to get into KControl again.
Does anyone know what I can do, if anything, to get this theme working with klegacyimport? Also, it would be nice if trying to use a broken/unsupported legacy theme resulted in graceful degradation, rather than a sudden and unrecoverable crash that requires configuration editing to recover...
Why are you trying to use Gtk's Marble theme when KDE comes with one? I use KDE's marble theme, and I have Marble3D selected as my Gtk theme. I wouldn't want to use Gtk's Marble theme in KDE because it has less intuitive widgets and would be slower.
So true... Yet you are completely missing the point.
...and if you make anything you even suspect other uses might enjoy, submit it to themes.org!
I hate to nitpick, but aren't messages like these getting a little old? It's especially strange since it's a page about KDE. They should at least have the decency to mention Konqueror. :P
In contrast, I absolutely *love* what our site designer put on our company's website (affinix.com) in the "About" section:
"This page is best viewed with a monitor."
First thought: Yeah, finally KDE will look nice!
Second thought: What? KDE 1?
This is... weird. :)
One of the reason, I don't like KDE 2 currently, is the lack of a really nice theme. Some month ago I thought there would be a lot of new and great themes too... no... nothing. Disappointing. :(
This contest would be a great opportunity and it's for KDE 1... would be amusing, if it wouldn't be so sad. :)
Yeah, right... and nowhere in the deep spaces of the internet is a good tutorial for making themes... but if you're interested to design your own theme, i can help you! i worked a lot on this stuff and believe me, it's so great... there is near to nothing you cannot change.
GOOD JOB, KDE-Team!!!
got you? - write me
But only at the end, read the last pages for more information. Still, pretty nice effort by IBM.
I was mostly speaking of the contest. I'm sure it will produce some great themes. But for KDE 1. D'oh! :)
Nothing special. It is good for newbies, but for serious themeing it lacks a lot of crucial informations. And it is written more for KDE 1xx than for KDE 2xx.
First, Theme manager module in Kcontrol doesn't have all functions it had in KDE 1xx. Colours? Not a big deal. Colours can easily be changed through Colours module in Kcontrol. Wallpapers? Same story: Background module in Kcontrol. Icons? Very few themers have time and skills to create a set of original icons. Those I've seen in some KDE themes are ugly. And now we come to Window decorations. Hm, here we have a problem.
I've seen nice portings of iceWM and Sawfish decorations, but Maximize/Minimize button sucks. When you click on Maximize button your themed button disappear and you get a square button like in kde 1xx.
And if you've chosen a pixmap for your titlebar when resizing the window the pixmap change form and becomes ugly (you have to resize it again to fix it).
That is a little bit about *.ktheme format.
Another story is Styles. Themeing of Toolbars in kde is pain in the arxx. That's because position of toolbar icons is on toolbar buttons and not on the toolbar. If you choose a pixmap for a toolbar, and you want to select the same pixmap for toolbar buttons, the pixmap has to be plain (no gradient, and no complex pixmaps), otherwise pixmap applied on toolbar and pixmap applied on toolbar button wont match (and you also get stripes around toolbar buttons, so you are forced to apply highlight to avoid that).
And since kde 1.98 (I really don't remember, it was before kde 2.0 was released), choosing background for your style sucks. Why? Because it draws the same background on your windows and inside your windows, so you can't use anymore Konqueror menu > View > Background image for Konqueror. So option is simply this: don't use background image in your styles! Why? Performance. Konqueror simply slows down a lot, and on not fast machine it could be a problem (it is problem here on Pentium 200, but my Athlon 800 can live with it).
Some said here that there are not many themes on kde.themes.org. As you probably know kde.themes.org
haven't had people to maintain the site and that happend at that time KDE 2.0 was released. So, I remember, I uploaded an theme in august 2000 and it showed up on kde.themes.org 3 months after. I also noticed that guys on kde.themes.org changed some things this week, and some themes pople posted there last few months can't be downloaded anymore (it says those themes have 0 bytes). I mailed maintainers (and asked them about changes) and they don't answer at all.
What to say? To theme or not to theme?
On a related note, I was supposed to become the maintainer for mozilla.themes.org about six months ago and I still have no username/password to get in and set up the site.
If the maintainers of kde.themes.org are in the same situation, there is little hope of much being updated on the site.
If you would like to email everything you want to know/have questions with directly to me([email protected]), i will get on it and answer your questions, I dont remember seeing your mail, but i get quite a few, and i would be more then happy do deal with your thoughts/ideas.

Most of the things you mention fit under the catagory of "fixable bugs". Please, when you find a bug, if you have some spare time and C++ experience, fix it yourself! Even if you don't, a bug will much more likely be fixed if you report it to bugs.kde.org, which provides the developers some very effective bug organizing tools.
With Windows, you resinstall about every 6 months. With Linux, you reinstall about every 6 months.
The difference is, with Linux, the version numbers change
The one thing that really distresses me about KDE2 theming is the complete lack of a central theme manager. Do I use the decorations? Do I change it in Style? What about in Colors? Or do I use the theme manager? How about I use Gnome, where it's all in one spot, like it *should* be.
The decoration idea was a good idea, but very VERY poorly implemented, imho. There should be one entry in KControl that controls the entire look and feel of your desktop environment, right down to the last pixel. Right clicking on the title bar and choosing a "decoration" style should affect only that window, not the entire window manager!
And who's friggin idea was it to make title bar configuration an exercise in C++ coding, and not something that theme artists can do themselves? There are about a dozen themes for KDE2.x on kde.themes.org, and guess how many of them have original title bars? None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Good idea... NOT.
So please, get this whole "theme" engine together in one spot, and make it so that the theme artists themselves can change the title bars and frames of the windows, like on other (and vastly more popular to themers) window managers. And please allow me to move the buttons (min/max/close/stick/icon) to where *I* want them to be.
Thanks for listening, sorry for the rant.
Please note that I'm making an icewm theme importer for kde, and a titlebar button position selector - fully integrated with kwin, kde and kcontrol. It has customisable button positions, and other nifty features that artists really want.
The kcontrol module I'm making allows customisation of button title positions via dnd. Similarly, all compatible decorations will be able to have their custom options and other specific decoration settings fully customisable in the one kcontrol place.
See my site http://gallium.n3.net/ for a preview. Hope this is what you were asking about :)
This is *exactly* what I'm talking about! You have hit the proverbial nail on the head!
If you need a beta tester, I'm your man!
Yes, I use your themes until some weeks
I hope this is in Kde 2.2

A theme contest for KDE1?! Only for US residents?
That sure is going to help A LOT KDE2...
Yeah, a contest about themes for such a highly internationalized software as KDE is and that on the internet only for US residents. Guess someone missed something here. I wouldn't participate anyway, but this is discriminating, thanks IBM!
I agree Malte, and the contest shouldn't be called KDE Theme Contest but KDE Theme Contest For US Citizens :(
Okay, an international contest seems to be rather expensive and difficult wrt. legal issues.
As for the version numbers, that's a mistake, the contest _is_ about 2.x
It's insane to:
1. Organize a Theme contest for KDE 1 instead of KDE 2.
2. And only for Americans when The KDE is mostly develops at Europe.
Anyway, Why can't Mandrake, SuSE, Caldera, etc., think of KDE 2.2 Themes Contest? It will promote their Distro and also encourage people. Who cares :(!?
That one with the distributions is a good idea.
The distributors would have a chance to gain
the heart of gimmick fans out there, while
promoting their selfs.
By the way, why didn't IBM organise a Theme contest for finnisch people (dedicating it to
Linus Torvald) ?
About the IBM contest, i think such kind of ideas
are ALLWAYS welcome, but this one shows once
again that Big Blue did never understand how to
keep a OS actual and modern.
Did you already realise that neither http://www.kde.org nor http://kde.themes.org
do have a tutorial on themes for KDE 2.X ? Even the installation of a theme can become an adventure!
I was already about to make some themes, but i
gave up, because i just can do it on my free hours
and don´t have time to try to find how does it
works my self.
Core KDE developers seems to be engineers, core Gnome developers artists.
IF you want a product made by engineers, choose KDE. If you want a product made by (visual) designers and artists, choose Gnome.
If unsure, why not compare with choosing a car or a house. A car made by engineers or artists. Or a house made by engineers or artists.
I work on GNOME, I have a degree is chemical engineering from UT and I can't draw at all.
Thanks to "Divide by Zero" you will now also be able to import themes made for MS Windows in the theme manager.
Check out KDE 2.2alpha1 next week!
BullShit !
KDE 1 is too old. i dont care about it.
and there are a lot of theme for it, already.
thats sux, we want more theme for KDE 2.1
we need more theme for KDE 2.x
also, if i've well understand, any submitted theme will become the propriarity of IBM.
they will be able to build and sell complete GUI from an artist idea.
dont submit your theme, keep it for a free contest.
IBM appears to have changed (or just clarified) the rules, you don't assign sole ownership to them or any such, you're just required to release under an opensource.org approved license.
They are accepting themes for both kde1.1.x and kde 2.x.
Nobody panic, just read the linked-to-article :-)
Another thing they should probably change is the deadline. I imagine that a really good theme needs more time than 2 weeks to make. This way they will limit the number of possible participants (who doesn't have the time right now to do this) and make do with an assemblage of relatively hurried work.
Ooooops, I've just solved the problem with Maximize button on titlebar. No more need for hardcoded kwin clents, now we can theme ::::::)))))))).
In a few days I will post detailed tutorial on my web-site
(but only about *.ktheme format and titlebar decorations).

Do you need flood insurance? Any home or business can be damaged by water incursions, even those located in a low to moderate flood risk area. If you have concerns about the possibility of flooding due to storm conditions, rising water, fast melting snow, mud, or other situations, getting flood insurance could save you thousands, tens of thousands, or more. Our local agents are here to help homeowners and business owners stay protected from flood damage to a property.
How Does Flood Insurance Work?
Many people have been shocked to discover that their homeowners insurance policy does not cover flood damage. Lenders require those who have a home in a high-risk flood zone to carry flood insurance. If your home is in the moderate to low-risk area, this coverage is likely optional – you make that decision yourself. The cost of coverage varies, depending upon where your home is located. Generally, if your home is in a low to moderate risk area, flood insurance coverage will be extremely affordable. It is worth getting the facts about this coverage, and our friendly local agents can help.
Why You Need Flood Insurance
Your homeowners insurance policy, in most cases, covers only certain weather-related damage, such as a case in which a falling limb damages the roof of your home and rainwater enters the structure, causing further damage. It does not cover water that enters your home by ground. You may believe your home is safe. About 20 percent of flood insurance claims come from lower risk areas – and homeowners who HAD policies in place. The average claim was in the range of $30,000.
Types of Flood Insurance
One of our agents can help you with what type of flood insurance you should have in place. To determine how much flood insurance coverage you need, take these steps:
- Do a full inventory of your possessions and the cost of replacement, including furniture, electronics, appliances, and so on. Coverage can be purchased to cover up to $100,000 to replace your possessions damaged by flood waters.
- Evaluate what it would cost to rebuild your home if severely damaged by flood. Federal flood insurance covers up to $250,000 in repairs. If it would cost more than $250,000 to rebuild your home, it is important that you add what is called "excess coverage," a private policy to cover the remainder of the cost of rebuilding your home.
- If you rent your home, you can purchase renters flood insurance to cover the cost of replacing your home's contents.
Private or Federal Flood Insurance?
No matter where you live, assume your home is in a flood zone and that you need coverage. There are a few private companies that may have policies available. Our agency can help you find the right policy, and we always search for the most affordable price. Contact us for more information about flood insurance today!

filetest - Perl pragma to control the filetest permission operators
$can_perhaps_read = -r "file"; # use the mode bits { use filetest 'access'; # intuit harder $can_really_read = -r "file"; } $can_perhaps_read = -r "file"; # use the mode bits again
This pragma tells the compiler to change the behaviour of the filetest
permission operators, -r
(see the perlfunc manpage).
The default behaviour is to use the mode bits as returned by the stat()
family of calls. This, however, may not be the right thing to do if
for example various ACL (access control lists) schemes are in use.
For such environments, use filetest
may help the permission
operators to return results more consistent with other tools.
Each ``use filetest'' or ``no filetest'' affects statements to the end of the enclosing block.
There may be a slight performance decrease in the filetests
when use filetest
is in effect, because in some systems
the extended functionality needs to be emulated.
NOTE: using the file tests for security purposes is a lost cause from the start: there is a window open for race conditions (who is to say that the permissions will not change between the test and the real operation?). Therefore if you are serious about security, just try the real operation and test for its success - think in terms of atomic operations.
Currently only one subpragma, access
is implemented. It enables
(or disables) the use of access()
or similar system calls. This
extended filetest functionality is used only when the argument of the
operators is a filename, not when it is a filehandle.

As a high school student, John Pardon was engaged in one of his favorite pastimes -- reading math papers online -- when he came upon a problem crafted by famed Russian mathematician Mikhail Gromov that had confounded scholars in the field for more than two decades.
Over the years Pardon would return to grapple with Gromov's problem, which concerns an area of math known as knot theory. This fall, as a Princeton University senior, he unraveled the solution that eluded so many others, and will see his results published in the Annals of Mathematics, the top journal in the field.
This rare achievement exemplifies the intellectual curiosity and scholarly accomplishments that have carried Pardon to the top of Princeton's class of 2011 as its valedictorian. Pardon, a mathematics major from Chapel Hill, N.C., will deliver the valedictory address at the University's Commencement ceremony Tuesday, May 31.
The son of Duke University mathematician William Pardon, he scored his first perfect math SAT score in middle school and began taking advanced coursework from an early age, including classes at Duke while still in high school. After his sophomore year at Princeton he took only graduate courses in the mathematics department, with the exception of one high-level undergraduate course.
Pardon, whose quiet demeanor balances his high levels of motivation and self-direction, said he finds inspiration in solving challenging math problems.
"Doing research is much more of a creative process than, say, doing a calculation," he said. "If you're working on good problems, it's very intellectually stimulating to figure out why something is true instead of just calculating that it's true."
Finding and conquering challenges
Pardon's desire to conquer intellectual challenges drove his efforts to solve the problem presented by Gromov in knot theory, which is a branch of topology, the study of the properties of space and shapes. Gromov's problem, established in 1983, involves the distortion of a particular class of knots called torus knots.
"I read a lot of math online -- that's how I've come to learn about most of the problems that I've worked on," Pardon said. "I first saw this problem in high school and spent some time thinking about it here and there. About a year ago last spring, I thought I had a very nice idea about how to solve it. I started writing it up and two weeks later realized it was completely wrong."
However, in his spare time last summer while working as a math researcher for the U.S. Department of Defense, he continued to think about the problem until he came up with a new direction toward a solution.
This fall he wrote a draft of a paper on the subject and shared it with Princeton mathematician David Gabai, who suggested Pardon submit the paper to the Annals of Mathematics. It is scheduled for publication in the journal's July issue.
"A lot of very talented mathematicians would love to have solved this problem," said Gabai, the Hughes-Rogers Professor of Mathematics. "With some problems, people make some progress and it's clear there is a direction to go. But with this one no one really had any idea how to get started.
"This is a true gem of mathematics that connects geometry, topology and some analytic arguments. I can imagine that in the future, because it's so elegant, people will remember this as a special piece of work," Gabai said. "Part of what is so impressive is that he found this problem on his own and recognized it as something he had a chance of doing."
Pardon has amassed other impressive research achievements, having published several papers as an undergraduate and presented talks at Princeton and other institutions.
At a dinner in December, Princeton mathematician János Kollár told Pardon about a difficult topology problem he had been discussing with colleagues. A week later, Pardon emailed Kollár with a solution.
"We have been working together since, and he produced several improvements and went much further than I originally hoped for," said Kollár, the Donner Professor of Science, who added that working with Pardon "felt like working with a postdoc."
For his senior thesis, Pardon produced advances in knot theory, building upon work done by Princeton alumnus Jacob Rasmussen, now a mathematician at the University of Cambridge. Pardon's thesis adviser, Professor of Mathematics Zoltán Szabó, described the project as a "very original piece of work."
Seeking a well-rounded experience
Planning from the outset to major in mathematics, Pardon chose to attend Princeton because he sought a well-rounded liberal arts education rather than focusing solely on technical coursework. After studying Spanish in high school, he decided to try a new language and selected Chinese, which became his second major academic pursuit during his Princeton years.
"The reason I chose Chinese is the writing system is the hardest of all the possible options I had," he said. "From my first class, I realized that the Chinese language program here is one of the best in the world -- I'm very lucky to have chosen it."
Pardon attended the Princeton in Beijing language immersion program in the summer after his freshman year and completed advanced coursework in Chinese on campus. Chih-p'ing Chou, a professor of East Asian studies who oversees Princeton's Chinese language program, noted that Pardon is one of few students he has encountered who mastered Chinese in four years of study.
In the fall of his junior year, Pardon was selected for the team that would represent Princeton in the International Varsity Debate, a biennial competition organized by China Central Television and Singapore's Media Corp. Pardon teamed with senior Michael Medeiros and junior Jesse Mudrick to win the non-native-speaking section of the debate, which was held in Singapore in November and broadcast across the Chinese-speaking world.
"I was pretty nervous, perhaps less because I was speaking Chinese than because I was on TV," Pardon said.
Chou said Pardon's performance was "highly eloquent and animated, with a great sense of humor and wit." Chou, the team's coach, added that Pardon "used several expressions from Confucius' 'Analects' and several other classical Chinese texts, many of which are normally only used among highly educated native Chinese speakers."
Pardon has received numerous accolades for his academic achievements. In 2010 he and Veronica Shi, this year's salutatorian, shared the Class of 1939 Princeton Scholar Award, which is given annually to the undergraduate who, at the end of the junior year, has achieved the highest academic standing for all preceding college work at the University. He twice won the University's Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence, received prizes for outstanding achievement within Princeton's mathematics department and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 2010.
Pardon also won a 2010 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, a national award recognizing outstanding potential in math, natural sciences or engineering. He earned a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship to support his graduate studies at Stanford University beginning this fall.
Excelling beyond the classroom
While Pardon said he appreciated the freedom he was given to take rigorous courses at all levels at Princeton, he also found time to enjoy life outside the classroom.
A key to his Princeton experience was "choosing what activities are important to me and putting a lot of effort into them," he said. "There were so many things I could do, ranging from math research to interesting classes to playing the cello."
Pardon, who has played cello since he was 6, has been a four-year member of the Princeton University Sinfonia student orchestra and twice won Sinfonia's annual concerto competition.
"John has always been my right-hand man -- literally, having sat at the front of Sinfonia's cello section to my right since his freshman year," said Ruth Ochs, the Sinfonia conductor and a lecturer in the Department of Music. "Early on I discovered how lucky I was to have his ongoing dedication to Sinfonia. He is a quiet yet thoroughly respected leader in Sinfonia. Admired by all for his technical prowess, he always is a team player. He uses his talents on behalf of the music and Sinfonia's interpretation of it."
Noting that Pardon has continued to take private cello lessons throughout his Princeton years, Ochs added, "He has marched through repertoire that you also hear from cellists studying at music conservatories."
Pardon has engaged in several other extracurricular pursuits in addition to music. His experience in the Outdoor Action freshman orientation program inspired him to serve as a leader for an orientation trip to the Green Mountains in Vermont prior to his junior year. He has been a member of the student Juggling Club, which includes a number of other math students. Pardon also chose to live in Butler College for all four years at Princeton, saying he enjoyed the friendly surroundings of the residential college.
As he looks ahead to graduate school, Pardon said he has not yet decided on a specific area of concentration within math and that a career in academia is a possibility. His main goal is to continue to pursue intellectual challenges and follow the independent path he has charted thus far.
"The freedom to do your own self-directed research is hard to come by," he said.

Migration to Egypt. 1* Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2There God, speaking to Israel in a vision by night, called: Jacob! Jacob! He answered, "Here I am." 3Then he said: I am God,* the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation. 4I will go down to Egypt with you and I will also bring you back here, after Joseph has closed your eyes.
5So Jacob departed from Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel put their father and their wives and children on the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. 6They took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. So Jacob and all his descendants came to Egypt.a 7His sons and his grandsons, his daughters and his granddaughters—all his descendants—he took with him to Egypt.
8These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his children, who came to Egypt.
Reuben, Jacob's firstborn,b 9* and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.c 10The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, son of a Canaanite woman.d 11The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.e 12The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah—but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.f 13The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.g 14The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.h 15These were the sons whom Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, along with his daughter Dinah—thirty-three persons in all, sons and daughters.
16The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arod, and Areli.i 17The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah, with their sister Serah; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.j 18These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah; these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons in all.
19The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 20In the land of Egypt Joseph became the father of Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.k 21The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ahiram, Shupham, Hupham, and Ard.l 22These are the sons whom Rachel bore to Jacob—fourteen persons in all.
23The sons of Dan: Hushim.m 24The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.n 25These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel; these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all.
26Jacob's people who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, not counting the wives of Jacob's sons—numbered sixty-six persons in all.o 27Together with Joseph's sons who were born to him in Egypt—two persons—all the people comprising the household of Jacob who had come to Egypt amounted to seventy persons* in all.p
28Israel had sent Judah ahead to Joseph, so that he might meet him in Goshen. On his arrival in the region of Goshen, 29Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Israel made his appearance, Joseph threw his arms around him and wept a long time on his shoulder. 30And Israel said to Joseph, "At last I can die, now that I have seen for myself that you are still alive."
31Joseph then said to his brothers and his father's household: "I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him: 'My brothers and my father's household, whose home is in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32The men are shepherds, having been owners of livestock;* and they have brought with them their flocks and herds, as well as everything else they own.' 33So when Pharaoh summons you and asks what your occupation is, 34you must answer, 'We your servants, like our ancestors, have been owners of livestock from our youth until now,' in order that you may stay in the region of Goshen, since all shepherds are abhorrent to the Egyptians."
* [46:1–47:26] Jacob and his family settle in Egypt. Joseph's economic policies.
* [46:3] I am God: more precisely according to the Hebrew text, "I am El." "El" is here a divine name, not the common noun "god."
* [46:9–27] This genealogical list is based on the clan lists (Nm 26:5–50) from the Mosaic period.
* [46:27] Seventy persons: it is difficult to get this exact number by adding up the persons mentioned in the preceding genealogies. One might assume it refers to Jacob and sixty-nine descendants, excluding Er and Onan but including Dinah. Ex 1:5 repeats the number but excludes Jacob. Dt 10:22 refers to seventy persons descending to Egypt. The best solution is to take the number as expressing totality. Since there are seventy nations in chap. 10, it is likely that the text is drawing a parallel between the two entities and suggesting that Israel "represents" the nations before God.
* [46:32] Owners of livestock: the phrase occurs only here and in v. 34. The difference between this term and "shepherds" is not clear, for the brothers do not mention it to Pharaoh in 47:3.
a. [46:6] Ex 1:1; Jos 24:4; Jdt 5:10; Acts 7:15.
c. [46:9] Ex 6:14; Nm 26:5; 1 Chr 5:3.
d. [46:10] Ex 6:15; Nm 26:12; 1 Chr 4:24.
e. [46:11] Ex 6:16; Nm 3:17; 26:57; 1 Chr 6:1.
f. [46:12] Gn 38:3–10, 29–30; Nm 26:19; Ru 4:12; 1 Chr 2:5.
g. [46:13] Nm 26:23–24; 1 Chr 7:1.
j. [46:17] Nm 26:44; 1 Chr 7:30–31.

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
This document covers stopping and restarting Apache on Unix-like systems. Windows NT, 2000 and XP users should see Running Apache as a Service and Windows 9x and ME users should see Running Apache as a Console Application for information on how to control Apache on those platforms.
In order to stop or restart Apache, you must send a signal to
the running httpd
processes. There are two ways to
send the signals. First, you can use the unix kill
command to directly send signals to the processes. You will
notice many httpd
executables running on your system,
but you should not send signals to any of them except the parent,
whose pid is in the PidFile
. That is to say you
shouldn't ever need to send signals to any process except the
parent. There are three signals that you can send the parent:
, and
, which
will be described in a moment.
To send a signal to the parent you should issue a command such as:
kill -TERM `cat /usr/local/apache2/logs/httpd.pid`
The second method of signaling the httpd
is to use the -k
command line options: stop
, and graceful
as described below. These are arguments to the httpd
binary, but we recommend that
you send them using the apachectl
control script, which
will pass them through to httpd
After you have signaled httpd
, you can read about
its progress by issuing:
tail -f /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log
Modify those examples to match your ServerRoot
and PidFile
apachectl -k stop
Sending the TERM
or stop
signal to
the parent causes it to immediately attempt to kill off all of its
children. It may take it several seconds to complete killing off
its children. Then the parent itself exits. Any requests in
progress are terminated, and no further requests are served.
apachectl -k graceful
The USR1
or graceful
signal causes
the parent process to advise the children to exit after
their current request (or to exit immediately if they're not
serving anything). The parent re-reads its configuration files and
re-opens its log files. As each child dies off the parent replaces
it with a child from the new generation of the
configuration, which begins serving new requests immediately.
be used for a graceful restart, an alternative signal may be used (such
as WINCH
). The command apachectl graceful
will send the right signal for your platform.This code is designed to always respect the process control
directive of the MPMs, so the number of processes and threads
available to serve clients will be maintained at the appropriate
values throughout the restart process. Furthermore, it respects
in the
following manner: if after one second at least StartServers
new children have not
been created, then create enough to pick up the slack. Hence the
code tries to maintain both the number of children appropriate for
the current load on the server, and respect your wishes with the
Users of the mod_status
will notice that the server statistics are not
set to zero when a USR1
is sent. The code was
written to both minimize the time in which the server is unable
to serve new requests (they will be queued up by the operating
system, so they're not lost in any event) and to respect your
tuning parameters. In order to do this it has to keep the
scoreboard used to keep track of all children across
The status module will also use a G
to indicate
those children which are still serving requests started before
the graceful restart was given.
At present there is no way for a log rotation script using
to know for certain that all children writing
the pre-restart log have finished. We suggest that you use a
suitable delay after sending the USR1
before you do anything with the old log. For example if most of
your hits take less than 10 minutes to complete for users on
low bandwidth links then you could wait 15 minutes before doing
anything with the old log.
command line argument (see httpd
). This still will not
guarantee that the server will restart correctly. To check the
semantics of the configuration files as well as the syntax, you
can try starting httpd
as a non-root user. If there
are no errors it will attempt to open its sockets and logs and fail
because it's not root (or because the currently running
already has those ports bound). If it fails
for any other reason then it's probably a config file error and the error
should be fixed before issuing the graceful restart.apachectl -k restart
Sending the HUP
or restart
signal to
the parent causes it to kill off its children like in
, but the parent doesn't exit. It re-reads its
configuration files, and re-opens any log files. Then it spawns a
new set of children and continues serving hits.
Users of mod_status
will notice that the server statistics are set to zero when a
is sent.
Prior to Apache 1.2b9 there were several race conditions involving the restart and die signals (a simple description of race condition is: a time-sensitive problem, as in if something happens at just the wrong time it won't behave as expected). For those architectures that have the "right" feature set we have eliminated as many as we can. But it should be noted that there still do exist race conditions on certain architectures.
Architectures that use an on disk ScoreBoardFile
have the potential
to corrupt their scoreboards. This can result in the "bind:
Address already in use" (after HUP
) or "long lost
child came home!" (after USR1
). The former is a fatal
error, while the latter just causes the server to lose a
scoreboard slot. So it might be advisable to use graceful
restarts, with an occasional hard restart. These problems are very
difficult to work around, but fortunately most architectures do
not require a scoreboard file. See the ScoreBoardFile
documentation for a
architecture uses it.
All architectures have a small race condition in each child involving the second and subsequent requests on a persistent HTTP connection (KeepAlive). It may exit after reading the request line but before reading any of the request headers. There is a fix that was discovered too late to make 1.2. In theory this isn't an issue because the KeepAlive client has to expect these events because of network latencies and server timeouts. In practice it doesn't seem to affect anything either -- in a test case the server was restarted twenty times per second and clients successfully browsed the site without getting broken images or empty documents.
