Drupal Sub-themes
Wow, time flies when you're having fun. I hadn't intended to spend the day playing with Drupal, but the incontrovertible fact is that it's almost ten already, so I have. The idea was to enable the Pirate module (Arrrr!!!) and then take care of a couple of security advisories that affected my installation, requiring that I update Drupal core and the Date module. This ultimately ended up leading to my creating a sub-theme for the Marinelli theme.
What I'd forgotten was that the last time I'd worked on my site, the Admin Menu module encountered a bug in its interaction with the Devel module, which was giving me fatal PHP errors when I authenticated. The anonymous view of the site was not affected, and at that moment, I didn't have time to go digging around to discover the cause, so I left my site up, but broken. It was long enough ago that I was surprised when I logged in and got the WSOD.
I renamed the Admin Menu module to something other than what Drupal was expecting just so I could access the admin pages for my site, and then I checked my modules for updates. Sure enough, there was a Devel update, and a little quick research determined that I could probably resolve my issue by updating Devel. A few Subversion checkins and checkouts later, and I had a mostly up-to-date system with a working Admin Menu. The only thing left to update was the Marinelli theme, which had added a few things for better OG support, something that didn't affect me at all.
I nevertheless realized that the easiest way to keep up with updates was to break out my Marinelli overrides into a sub-theme. With the help of KDiff3, I compared my version of Marinelli to the stock Marinelli 2.92 to the latest version, 2.96 (that's right, a three-way diff). The bottom line is that I was able to replace Marinelli with my own sub-theme, containing 5 modified templates (because I use the Block Class module and because I can't stand how inconsistent the page and node templates are when it comes to the code) and 3 CSS files (my resume styles, which override nothing, my print styles, which don't exist in stock Marinelli, and my actual Marinelli overrides, consisting of 75 lines of commented, well-spaced CSS). Not a whole lot to my modifications, but they're enough to make it a pain in the ass to upgrade; moving to a sub-theme makes this much easier. I just have to look at Marinelli's CVS diffs and, because my overrides are commented, I can see if I need to make any adjustments (highly doubtful, but I'm paranoid).
The one gotcha that's important: your sub-theme's template.php file (if it has one) has to avoid re-declaring functions already declared in the parent theme. If you want to override template.php functions, use your theme name as part of the function name, or you'll get fun PHP fatal errors and the WSOD. It's not much of a gotcha; you just have to make sure you know which template functions are necessary for your theme.

APPLETON, Wisc. (WFRV)
September is National Recovery Month and two foundations in Appleton are looking to bring awareness to those impacted by addiction.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health, last year, more than 800 people in Wisconsin died from opioid-related overdoses and some of those faces are stitched on one of four Faces of Recovery and Addiction quilts.
Bev lost her daughter, Megan, to an overdose in 2015, and started the First Annual Recovery Celebration and Memorial Walk.
Bev along with the Lights of Hope celebrate those in recovery and those affected by addiction
"I truly want people to know that this [addiction] isn't just impacting my family. We need to stop the silence, so that people can live and get the help that they need."Bev Kelley-Miller
Pres. Megan Kelly Foundation
The Faces of Recovery and Addiction quilts are covered in squares with four different colors.
The red squares are people who are struggling from addiction; the grey are people who are incarcerated; the white are people who are in recovery and the black are people who have lost their lives.
Last year there were close to 600 black squares on the quilts, this year there are more than 800. The black squares signify someone who has lost their life to addiction.

Newspaper Nerds
All kinds of people want to be involved in collegiate a cappella groups. But when it comes to running a student organization, the leadership needs to think about how new personalities will affect the group dynamics. In this column, we take a candid look at the stereotypes associated with various sorts of people, and explain what these people may contribute to a group.
Please note that many of the characterizations presented in this column are intended to defuse mean-spirited stereotypes through humor. We do not intend to offend anyone.
In this edition we consider newspaper nerds.
Though, at first, you may be leery of a group member who wants to make everything about your group some sort of story, don't forget that, in the a cappella world, attention—any way you can get it—tends to be a good thing, broadening your name recognition, and by extension, who's listening to you.
It's problematic for a group member to divide time too severely between your group and other endeavors, and there's no denying that a serious student journalist is going to have serious commitments to the paper. With that being said, don't underestimate the value of that office the newspaper nerd is tied to. He'll have access to layout software, laser printers, and a stock of paper that could be a huge help in getting flyers set for auditions, shows, CD sales, and more.
A student journalist may be pulled away at any given moment to chase a story, and that can be problematic when you're asking him to commit to your group. On the bright side, though, such an individual, who is accustomed to living flexibly and getting called away at the last minute, can bring a great attitude to extra and extended rehearsals when it comes to crunch time before a big show or competition; maintaining the same level of energy and investment regardless of the hours involved.

Six new exoplanets orbiting very close to their stars could hold the key to understanding more about the Earth's geology, astronomers say.
The planets, which were discovered using the European Space Observatory's planet-hunting telescope in Chile called the high accuracy radial velocity planet searcher (Harps), have hot surfaces with temperatures of around 1,100C (2,012F) to 1,800C (3,272F).
Researchers believe their findings, published as three separate papers in Nature, could shed light on the geology of Earth and other rocky planets in the Solar System including Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Professor Carole Haswell, head of astronomy at the Open University in the UK, told the PA news agency: "The rocky planets we are discovering offer opportunities to precisely measure the mass, the radius and the composition, and this gives us the chance to see how the planets are built.
"We can begin to measure geology of planets outside our Solar System.
"This means we can place the Earth in context and learn more about planet formation and evolution generally."
She added: "For example, we don't yet know if it is a coincidence that in the Solar System, the Earth and Venus are the biggest rocky objects and have the largest fraction of their mass made of iron."
An international team of researchers, which included scientists at the Open University, studied three nearby stars known as DMPP–1, DMPP–2 and DMPP–3, which are around 160-440 light-years away.
The team found three hot planets called DMPP-1c, DMPP-1d and DMPP-1e, with masses between three and 10 times that of Earth, orbiting the star DMPP-1.
The star is also host to a fourth planet called DMPP-1b, which has a mass similar to Neptune and takes 20 days to complete an orbit.
Dr Daniel Staab, a former PhD student at the Open University, said: "DMPP-1 hosts a really important planetary system with three low mass exoplanets whose composition we can measure."
DMPP-2b, meanwhile, is a giant planet with a mass almost half that of Jupiter and takes five days to orbit its host star DMPP–2.
DMPP-3, on the other hand, is a binary star system with the dimmer DMPP-3B orbiting the brighter DMPP-3A.
Its planet, DMPP-3Ab, takes seven days to orbit DMPP-3A.
Dr John Barnes, a research fellow at The Open University, said: "DMPP-3 was a huge surprise, we were looking for a tiny signal indicating an orbiting, low mass planet, but the first thing we found was a huge signal due to a companion star we hadn't expected!"
The astronomers say that the new planets, particularly DMPP-1d, DMPP-1e and DMPP-3Ab, could hold the key to unlocking the geology of the rocky planets.
As these planets are hot due to their close proximity to their stars, some of their rocky surfaces have dispersed to form thin shrouds of gas, a process known as ablation.
These shrouds filter the light from the stars, producing clues which allowed the astronomers to detect the planetary systems.
The researchers say that further studies will allow them to measure the chemical compositions of the shrouds and reveal the types of rocks on the surface of the hot planets.

TRAVELERS: An inspiring open at TPC River Highlands
CROMWELL -- The star of Monday's opening ceremonies of the Travelers Golf Championship at TPC River Highlands was 11-year-old Cameron Merritt.
Merritt was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma when in kindergarten. He talked about the battles he went through, including the surgeries and the chemotherapy. "I wore my Red Sox cap to cover my bald head," he said.
Merritt, who was accompanied by his mom and dad Christine and Paul, said his favorite Red Sox player is Jon Lester.
"There's a connection," said mom Christine. "Both have had cancer."
The young Merritt, of Winsted, who now has to see his doctor only once a year, said, "I have a ball signed by Lester." His favorite golfer? Phil Mickelson.
"He just seems like a good guy," said Merritt.
He also talked about his times at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a place established by actor Paul Newman for children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. "When I go to camp it's the most wonderful time of the year," he said. "I hope to be a counselor one day."
"It's a place," a spokesman said, "Where kids can be kids and raise a little hell."
The camp, which opened in 1988 serving 288 children and now services 20,000, is one of the charities that benefits from the tournament.
"Over 100 charities benefit from this tournament," said Gov. Dannel Malloy in prepared remarks. "The tournament has a significant economic impact and tens of millions of dollars are spent. So please spend money. All net proceeds go to the charities and that makes Connecticut a better place to live and visit."
Among the invited guests were Middletown Mayor Daniel Drew, Sen. Paul Doyle and Rep. Christie Carpino.
"This tournament is a point of pride for the region," said Drew. "It had a positive economic impact on Middletown and it simply is a very enjoyable event."
The theme of charity was repeated again and again. Doyle said that "the multi-million dollar benefit to those of us who are less fortunate is great."
Doyle, while a golf fan, offered an admission.
"I am ashamed to say I'm not a golfer," he said. "It's a sport you have to start young and I'm afraid I never did."
Another theme of the morning was the recognition the PGA event brings to the region.
"It puts our little town of 14,000 on the map," said Cromwell First Selectman Mertie Terry. "The tournament people are really good neighbors. We couldn't ask for people who are more cooperative. This tournament is a blessing."
Carpino was blown away by Merritt's speech.
"This is the third year I've been here," she said. "I'm not the story; I'm just a state representative. Cam is the story, a heartwarming story."
Master of Ceremonies Nathan Grube, the tournament director, introduced the United States Coast Guard band and a Naval Color Guard for the National Anthem and Presentation of Colors. He spoke of the commitment of the sponsors, the volunteers and the operators of the Tournament Players Club at River Highlands.
"If we don't have a great golf course, the players wouldn't come," said Grube. "We thank the TPC for preparing such a great place to hold the tournament."
Malloy referred to the international exposure the tournament give the state, saying that Connecticut is a central location for broadcast sports with ESPN in Bristol and NBC Sports in Stamford. "This tournament will be broadcast around the world by CBS and the Golf Channel," said Malloy.
The governor also introduced four first responders, two from Newtown and two from the Patriots' Day bombing at the Boston Marathon, to prolonged applause.
The ceremonies concluded with young Merritt hitting the ceremonial first shot off the First Tee, complete with a drum roll from the Coast Guard band.
"This a phenomenal event for us," said Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce President Larry McHugh. "The international exposure is great -- and the sun is shining. It always shines on Middlesex County."

In fact, there are a number of payday loans online that you can request without changing banks. These payday loans offer aid to all types of people and can be credits of up to 50,000 dollars without making any complex procedure and without links with another bank.
That is to say, you are not obliged to resort to your usual entity to request loans, but you can request a payday loan in another bank that offers you better conditions.
Do you know how to find the loan that suits you?
Financial institutions can offer you different ways of financial aid without obligation to change banks. Either in the form of a micro-loan, loans with a guarantee of some kind (such as a loan with a guarantee with a car) or even home equity loans.
Of course, if the main thing is not to change your bank, you have three basic types of financing that do not require the need to change entities:
- Microcredits
- Credit cards
- payday loans
In Good Finance we offer you this service, you can request a payday loan without changing your bank by filling out the following questionnaire. We take care of finding the entities that best suit you and we analyze your case to find those that can grant you the loan without problems. And the best thing is that we give you an almost immediate response.
Where to apply for these credits without changing banks?
There are mainly three types of financial institutions that can grant this type of credit.
- First, private lenders or private financing entities. These allow us to obtain credits online quickly regardless of our bank. Here you can see the financial institutions with which we collaborate in Good Finance and that can grant you the loan without changing your entity.
- Secondly, the banks themselves offer some financial aid without needing to belong to their bank. Although in this case the search is more complicated and slower.
- And finally, through crowdlending platforms that allow obtaining loans between individuals. In this case you must also manage directly with the platforms which increases the time of receiving the money.
Advantages apply for a loan without changing banks
The best thing about these credits and payday loans is how quickly they are processed. Especially if you process it from a platform like ours, you will get a quick and efficient response, since we have direct communication with dozens of entities that can grant you the loan without having to change your bank.
But another advantage is to avoid the expensive process of changing banks to apply for a loan. This change is usually almost a nightmare: change receipts, cards, money transfers, cancellation of other loans, savings plans, etc. Online payday loans without change of entity offer us immediate financing without sacrificing the advantages offered by our own bank.
In any case it is a way for the client to apply for the most beneficial payday loan for their economic situation without involving an administrative disruption. What does it sound good to?
Requirements to obtain a credit without change of entity
As far as the necessary requirements to be able to resort to this type of aid and to receive some type of personal credit online without the obligation to change your bank are very simple. In fact, they are basically the same as to ask for a loan in your entity always or to open a new bank account.
These requirements are the basic conditions of any credit by any financial entity. Such as:
- We must reside in Spain (indicating our address)
- At the same time, we will have to be of legal age to apply for these credits (we verify by providing our ID or identity document)
- Have sufficient income that allows us to return payment fees without risk of default. Sometimes a recent payroll or invoice is requested related to the bank account where the payday loan is to be entered and from which the installments will be collected.
- It is preferable not to be in any list of delinquents such as Financial Credit Institutions, since this way we will have more options when choosing our loan. If we are on a list, we must try to cancel the debt as quickly as possible to get out of the delinquency list. Or put some type of guarantee to grant us the loan more quickly.
This type of financial services gives you the ability to compare between different products and request the payday loan that offers you greater benefits. At Good Finance we analyze your profile personally and individually. And the best: we put you in touch with the entities that offer you the best conditions.

interzum 2019
The future starts here – for the past 60 years
The world's leading trade fair for furniture production and interior design
Since as far back as 1959, "interzum" in Cologne is where the global furniture supplier industry convenes. The "interzum" will take place from 21 to 24 May 2019. At the world's leading trade fair for furniture production and interior design, the exhibitors set new standards and offer visitors from industry, trade and retail an overview of the ground-breaking innovations in the industry – they provide the impetus for the design of tomorrow's living spaces. The specialist event also provides them with an opportunity to convince international decision makers, opinion leaders and multipliers of the outstanding quality of their products, to forge new contacts and deepen existing ones.
Invitation to interzum award: intelligent material & design 2019
"interzum award: intelligent material & design" sees a jury of experts give awards to the best products in the international furniture supplier industry. Only "interzum" exhibitors are permitted to take part in the design competition, which Koelnmesse is already hosting for the tenth time in collaboration with Red Dot. The award emphasises the significance of design as a value added factor and is used by the award winners as a reliable label to set themselves apart from competitors in a positive way on a large market.
"interzum award 2019" will feature a new category, "Tiny spaces", where the best product innovations for small homes receive an award.
Exhibitors at "interzum 2019" are invited to register their products for "interzum award 2019" free of charge until 8 March 2019 and to demonstrate design expertise with their product innovations.

In 1987 we started our foreign breeding activities in Spain. Ten years later we opened our own breeding station near Almeria. Since then, the Spanish market has grown to a total area of about 40,000 hectares of plastic greenhouses.
1985 saw the opening of the commercial sales office Enza Zaden UK, our first foreign subsidiary. That marked the beginning of rapid international expansion. Within a period of fifteen years Enza Zaden set up subsidiaries in Italy, Indonesia, the USA, France, Turkey and Germany. We are now to be found on all the continents in the world.

Congratulations, Bridgewater! We've made it through another year. Although I think that 2012 has been good for many people, perhaps the reality is that it has been an unusually difficult period for most.
The Great Recession of 2007/2008 refuses to release its grip, causing financial and emotional pain; and, a great October storm has devastated the New Jersey coastline, seriously disrupting the lives of our neighbors along its length.
Nationally, the never-ending cat fights in Washington between the Oval Office and the Congress vis-à-vis the crisis of a non-existent budget, the enacting of temporary financial fixes, and the runaway level of debt – all foreshadow a deepening paralysis of leadership in our nation's Capital.
No American deserves to be subjected to that level of non-governance.
While leaving Independence Hall in Philadelphia at the close of the Constitutional Convention in September of 1787, Benjamin Franklin was approached by a woman who asked him this question:
"Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" To which Franklin replied, "A republic, madam – if you can keep it." Keeping it intact has been our greatest challenge ever since those words leaped from Franklin's lips.
Our founders did a sterling job of establishing a unique democracy – some say republic – which the world has ever been blessed to observe, yet our leaders within The Beltway persevere in making a mockery of it.
That state of affairs — unless one has become ossified into denial – is the gist of the picture that faces America at the conclusion of 2012.
But every sunset has its ensuing sunrise. My plain hope is that somehow, in some manner, collaborative leadership will emerge at the dawn of 2013.
Thanks for reading. May the fates bless you and yours with an abundance of pleasant sunsets and promising sunrises in the coming New Year.

Turkey budget deficit widens eight-fold before election
Turkey's budget posted a deficit of 16.8 billion liras ($3.1 billion) in February, widening more than eight-fold from the same month a year earlier.
The deficit jumped from 1.9 billion liras in February 2018 as spending surged, according to data published by the Treasury and Finance Ministry on Friday.
Turkey has pledged to curb expenditure as part of measures to rescue the country from a currency crisis that peaked last August, which helped provoke an economic recession. But the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is spending more ahead of local elections on March 31.
Expenditure jumped an annual 33 percent to 83.7 billion liras, rising at more than three times the rate of revenue, which increased 9.7 percent to 67 billion liras. Excluding interest payments on debt, spending rose 23 percent to 69 billion liras.
Tax revenue climbed 9.4 percent to 57.5 billion liras, thanks to a 19.7 percent increase in business taxes, which rose to 18.2 billion liras. But the income lagged annual consumer price inflation, which stands at almost 20 percent, meaning real overall tax revenue has contracted.
Sales tax revenue slumped 19.5 percent to 3.74 billion liras, while income from special consumption taxes, a key revenue stream for the government, rose 5.5 percent to 10.5 billion liras.
Turkey had posted a budget surplus of 5.1 billion liras in January, prompting Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak to say the government was following prudent fiscal policies.
But the January budget surplus came after a six-fold increase in one-off revenue items of 41.3 billion liras, which included payment of the 2018 profits of the central bank, brought forward from April. Spending surged 63 percent to 91.9 billion liras in the month, while tax revenue rose 7.1 percent to 55.7 billion liras.
The January windfall from the central bank and other one-off measures such as an amnesty on illegally constructed buildings meant the budget deficit for the first two months of 2019 totalled 11.7 billion liras compared with a deficit of 201 million liras in the same period of last year.

I told myself that I needed the Kill Team boxset and would convince my better half to try more tabletop rather than board games. Subconsciously, what I really wanted to do was start another army.
I only got into 40K proper with the launch of 8th edition. I had moved over to the UK, leaving all my other systems back home and missed throwing dice around. GW being reasonably priced on home soil combined with Dark Imperium being such a good buy made it inevitable. Nearly a year later with nearly 3000 points of Blood Ravens Primaris, I feel like something different, something Xenos.
Looking at the Xenos factions, there is no contest
- GSC are debatably the most Grim Dark faction
- GSC have awesome models and a cool industrial aesthetic
- I need more mobility after playing a mostly static marine gunline
- I don't want to alienate the few people I've met on this side of the world by playing Eldar
The cult rises
I don't have an ounce of creativity compared to some of the fine goons doing the ToGG, so there is no massive block of fluff. That said, I really dig the mining and industrial aesthetic and want to stick to that. The idea of some mining world like LV426 finding something dormant in one of the caves leading to the rise of the cult is rad.
This sets some general guidelines for how I want them to look and what units I'm going to go for first.
- I want to stick with the mining/industrial aesthetic, so will look to do astrogranite style bases with crystals/ore/industrial gubbins.
- I want to avoid the cult IG models – to be honest I'm not really sold on their look. Which means I'll be focusing more on the industrial side of things – Goliath work trucks, loads of Neophytes etc.
It's been quite some time since I last played a horde army (Empire in WHFB), so I'm not sure what I've got myself into. The hardest part I imagine will be coming up with a name for them

React JS Overview
ReactJS is a JavaScript library developed by Facebook. It is used for building reusable UI components. React JS official documentation defined it as follows:
React is a library for building composable user interfaces, it supports and encourages the creation of reusable UI components, which presents data that changes over time by using declarative syntax.
React is used by most developers as the "V" part of the MVC architecture. React abstracts away the DOM from you, offering a simpler programming model and off course better experience.
One of the selling points of React is that it can also render on the server using Node. It can power native apps using its framework called React Native. It implements one-way reactive data flow, which reduces the boilerplate making its comprehension easier than traditional data binding.
It uses a concept called Virtual Dom, that selectively renders subtrees of nodes upon state changes. It does the least amount of DOM manipulation possible in order to keep your components up to date.
What is Virtual Dom?
Think of a Virtual DOM as an object modeled around a Person ?A?. It has every relevant property this person could possibly have, and it mirrored the person current state. This is exactly what React does to the DOM.
Now think, about adding some properties and extra features to this Virtual DOM modeled against Person "A". In the Land of React, when changes are made on the Virtual DOM two things takes place:
First, React runs a "diffing" algorithm, which identifies what was changed and Secondly, it reconciles and Updates the DOM with the changes on the Virtual DOM.
The way React works, rather than taking the Person "A" and rebuild from ground up, it would only change the cloths, face and arms. This implies that only that portion which needs be reconciled is updated.
Since React is using a "Fake" DOM called Virtual DOM and not the actual DOM, it also opens up a whole of new possibilities, thus we can render this Fake DOM on the server, and there comes server side React Views.

I just got my first batch of contracted packed Rooster Booster, and believe it or not, I think it is even better than the batches I made. I suppose perhaps their spices are fresher.
At any rate, now instead of 5.5 oz for $6, you can get 15 oz for $13.50.
Also, where I was packing the smaller bottle with 4.5 oz, it is now 5.5 oz, for the same price.
It is also available by the case in the 5.5 oz size for $60.00.
Drop me a PM if you want some.

Since 1999, we have been supplying the agricultural machinery industry with technical springs for hay and green fodder harvesting as well as in the area of tillage. As far as the quality requirements in this sector as concerned, we do not differentiate between the automotive industry, certified in accordance with ISO TS 16949, and the agricultural machinery industry. Here we set the same standards in all areas – particularly as regards quality, logistics and know-how in development.
Spring tines are primarily used in agriculture. Here we process wires of a wide range of grades with a material thickness varying from 4.00 to 14.00 mm.
Investments in state-of-the-art leveling and bending machines, a continual process optimization as well as longstanding experience in agriculture offer you the optimal basis for your project while making us a reliable, long-term partner at your side. Selective shot peening increases the durability of your products.
Spring tines
Spring tines provide for a uniformly high and careful transportation of the harvest. They allow a smooth material flow with regard to presses, loading trailers, shredders, swath rakes and tedders.
Pick-up tines are often mounted on support shafts. Depending on the process, the pick-up tines harvest the crop and convey it, say, to a feed rotor by detaching the crop by pressing it down on sharp blades. Due to the acceleration of the crop flow during the raising, pick-ups require the so-called hold-down devices, which provide the direction of the crop flow. The hold-down devices, though, consist of rolls, which disturb the crop flow less.
At Lesjöfors, we gladly support you with your projects in the agricultural sector.

NISR05032002B: Internal IP Addresses and IISby Nikola Strahija on March 5th, 2002 Microsoft's IIS offers web, ftp, mail and nntp services. If the server is protected by a firewall using Network Address Translation and the server uses a private internal IP address then, by making a malformed request to the web service it is possible for an attacker to discover this IP address. Whilst this won't come anywhere near to allowing an attacker to compromise a IIS server it will help them formulate further attacks.
This issue is similar to the issue
documented at
By making certain requests to the web service with a blank Host HTTP
client header the server response will often contain the server's IP
address, for example when using the PROPFIND request method.
Content-Length: 0
The server will return a 207 Multi-Status response with certain
properties of the root page. The server's IP address will be revealed if
the HREF property. Using the WRITE or MKCOL method will return the
machine's IP address in the Location server HTTP header, though of
course if the server allows the WRITE and MKCOL methods then the server
has greater problems.
Only IIS 5 and 5.1 support the WebDAV methods so these methods only
affect these systems. IIS 5.x and 4.0 are both vulnerable to this issue
if Basic authentication is enabled. (see #NISR05032002A
Fix Information
To prevent internal IP address disclosure take the following steps.
Open a command prompt and change the current directory to
c:inetpubadminscripts or to where the adminscripts can be found.
Run the commands
adsutil set w3svc/UseHostName True
net stop iisadmin /y
net start w3svc
This will cause the IIS server to use the machine's host name rather
than its IP address.
Vendor Status
Microsoft was informed of this issue. They didn't need to take any
action as a suitable work-around is available.

darker shades of metal, hymns of goth and post-punk ...all for the worship of darkness
Saturday, May 18, 2013
Kylesa: "Ultraviolet"
Kylesa's adventurous spirit of the past few years earned them them the most likely to become the next Mastodon award. This album is no exception even with the opener " Exhale" There is more stomp to this song than found on their past couple album sand the rapid vocal trade off reminds me of their " To Walk a Middle Course" album.
This is also their first album with bassist Chase Rudeseal who plays with a dexterous propulsion that helps "Unspoken" spin with a surreal magnetism into more of a progressive tone with the verse riff possessing the tight " Undertow" era Tool syncopation to it though I'm by way of Tool you could draw Mastodon comparison's if you are think "Crack the Skye"
"Grounded" – has more of the Mastodon rocknroll feel to it, though Laura's vocals float in a more ghostly manner of it. They are also aided by the production in heavy layers. This doesn't really hit me as the most inspired song on the album and seems like it's new rock n roll tricks atop some of the more lumbering riffage we have heard from them.
Not that I mind Them revisiting similar territory as it works really well when the sludge guitar sound returns on "We're taking this" , Laura's vocals get so gruff it can be hard to decipher them from the roars of her band mates, not sure if the more ambient transition works as well as they have pulled these sort of dynamics off in the past, though it has grown on me and the " what goes around come back around" while not lyrical genius is pretty mean.
"Long Gone" goes into a more hypnotic attack and is a good balance of the two modes of dynamics they now employ. I am not sure how I missed this drum break on the first listen. I take it this is the work of the dual drummer thing they have had going for a minute now, though listening to the album I tend to forget that its an element.
The abbreviated attack of "What Does it Take" is pretty straightforward and these songs could be more satisfying for those who have too short of an attention span for some of Mastodon's prog epics. It's on the more punk side of what they use to do but sounds weird when applied with the range of sounds they now employ.
Their new found maturation of melody really spreads its wings on "Steady Breakdown", the most evolved singer of the band. The melody has an serpentine sensuality, and the almost shoe gaze glaze of the guitar winds around the songs dark corners. It becomes clear how this is a much darker album as Low tide opens like a Cure song mixed with a little Mogwai in the way the effected guitar floats. I can even hear a little deathrock in Laura's voice on "Vulture's Landing", though the song it's self has way more drive than Siouxsie. There is also a lot more soul poured into the few guitar lead which spill out of songs .
The very radio rock intro to "Quicksand" weaves into a riff that reminds me of the Catherine Wheel, though with the movement of one of the Deftones more modern grooves."Drifting" does exactly that with layers of Cocteau Twins like guitar that shimmers around the dreamy vocals until things build in the last minute. I like the fact this album is darker and the use of vocal melodies is a focus rather than an after thought on a much more consistent basis, the fact this might not be as in your face as their other albums is going to take a few listens to get use to but they are pulling from places I like so I'm already more than half way on board. The production is excellent and I like they make a different feeling album every time they go into the studio which show their continued growth as song writers, I'll go ahead and give this album a 9, but include the disclaimer that this isn't a metal album buta step forward for the band none the less.

About Watchbands24
Watchbands24 - Foundation, history and present time
Watchbands24 was founded in 2007 from an idea. The aim was to offer a large number of different watch straps at that time, in order to offer the watch wearers a wide range of watch straps.

It will be easy for some in the libertarian movement to admonish and criticize Gary Johnson and William Weld for their performance last night. However, after they earned over 3% of the vote, including over 4 million popular votes, they deserve praise. Not only did they shatter the LP record for earned votes, they won more votes than the LP has in the last eight presidential elections combined.
This is without even mentioning their positive coattails in numerous down-ballot races. While the votes are still being tallied, it will undoubtedly be the most successful year for the LP in those contests as well. Numerous Libertarians will finish with solid percentages of the vote, with all of these candidates being greatly outmatched in funds and publicity.
While Johnson has promised to have run his last race, Weld has stated that he will spend the next decade working with the LP to make it the majority party in the United States. Though the latter has received immense scorn for his positive remarks about Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign, Libertarians should take him up on his offer.
It was far from the result that any in the liberty movement wanted, but it's a start. Libertarians must now build upon this stepping stone to guarantee victories in the future.

If all your data was lost, how long would it take for you to get it back and to be functional again? Minutes, hours, days, or even worse, weeks? How would this affect your customers and your employees?
Data loss affects all organizations at some point, and many companies struggle with how to protect data, especially now that much of it is in the cloud. It is critical for organizations to have a backup strategy that protects vital data. Companies that have business-critical applications like CPA firms, Law firms, and Healthcare organizations have even more of a compelling reason to ensure data is backed up and quickly recovered when the inevitable occurs. After all, going out of business is NOT an option.
Now that companies are beginning to migrate critical data into the cloud, data backup and recovery strategies must change too. In this blog post, I will cover the various technologies that ensure backup and recovery of critical data, and how cloud is changing these options.
Tape Drives
In many environments, tape drives are still used to backup data. Although it is a very manual process that requires an individual to rotate, replace, and then store the tapes, it does provide reliable recovery should data be lost. Tapes can store immense amounts of data on them with modern LTO8 tapes holding more than 12TB on a single tape! They can also be secure using modern encryption technologies to ensure no data is compromised, even if the tape is stolen. They provide a cost-effective way to ensure your backups are offline in the event of an attack or disaster, if they are securely stored. Some organizations choose to keep their sensitive data on tape as it can be cheaper than cloud storage options if you require large amounts of storage for your backups.
There are challenges to a tape backup system that can cause an organization to consider other alternatives.
- Tapes can be lost or stolen resulting in a report-able data breach if the encryption was not properly configured.
- They can also experience read/write failures during backup or restore options as the tapes and tape drive age.
- If data is lost, it may take hours or even days to recover all the information if the data spans across multiple tapes.
- An often overlooked component of tape backup is ensuring that offline tapes are stored securely offsite, and not in the same building or room as the servers being protected.
Despite the risks above, some organizations still prefer the tangible tape drive knowing that it works for their business' goals and objectives should something go wrong. The key takeaway is that tape drives are cost effective and generally a reliable method to get your data offsite and secure.
Cloud Backup Solutions
Organizations that want to get their data offsite, but do not want the hassle of changing tapes can utilize a cloud backup solution. These solutions range from just providing a cloud location to dump copies of backups from their on-premises backup solution, to copying select business data offsite with multiple versions of the data stored. These solutions are generally very customizable and come at a premium price compared to tape storage. The storage capacity can usually be increased very easily as a business grows.
One important cost to consider with these types of solutions is the price of Internet bandwidth required to get your backups offsite. The larger the backup size, the more likely it will be that you will need to increase your bandwidth to ensure your regular Internet usage is not impacted by the backup transfers to the cloud provider.
Another challenge with some cloud backup providers can be the time it takes to recover large amounts of information. If the data required to recover is large enough, the provider will often have to load the data onto portable drives and ship them to your location. This can increase the time it takes to recover your data dramatically. Conversely, if you just need to recover a few files, recovery can be very quick as the data is just downloaded over the Internet from your provider.
Cloud backups can be a convenient, customizable way to protect your most critical information offsite in a secure manner.
Replication is an exact copy of your production environment. Depending on the type of technology used, replication technology can even provide limited types of backups based on versioning of your production servers. This type of protection ensures that your files, applications, and virtual servers can be reliably restored should a disaster occur because it contains the entirety of your production environment. When a disaster occurs, a replicated environment can be operational very quickly if the proper technologies and designs are deployed. In most cases, a replicated environment can be restored within 15 minutes; not hours or even days.
With the maturing of cloud-based technologies, there are now ways to replicate server environments into the cloud for disaster recovery purposes. These solutions offer many varying options as well as prices to match a customer's requirements.
Replicated environments are not for everyone though. The two C's: Cost and Complexity may be the deterrent for some businesses. It is best to work with a Managed IT provider that is well-versed in replicated environments to help you choose the right solution to meet your recovery point (RPO) and time objectives (RTO).
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Microsoft Office 365 (O365) is being utilized by more and more businesses across the board. The usability and scalability of this cloud-based platform provides great applications like Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, Teams, Groups, Sway, and more.
To fully protect all O365 data, organizations need to implement a solution that includes daily backups and archiving to recover data from any point in time to protect against modern threats such as crypto-viruses. Cloud-to-cloud data backup solutions are growing in popularity and capabilities. Solutions today now offer features like:
- Scalable cloud-to-cloud backup with unlimited storage
- Control over retention from one year to the next
- Backup protection of email, OneDrive, and SharePoint Team sites
- Secure data storage
- Advanced search capabilities
- Regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GLBA, PCI...)
As more customers migrate critical information into SaaS platforms, it is crucial to understand how the data is being protected on the platform. Organizations must then decide if they need to supplement the backup and protection of that information to meet their own internal or regulatory requirements.
Although there are many options and solutions to backup your company's important data, one thing is clear, backup is a necessity. No business can afford downtime or the loss of confidential data.
Are you worried about your organization's data should there be a disaster? If so, speak to an SE representative today by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 888.624.6737.

This is an original made by Michael Murgado.
The inspiration came from incorporating tangerines into a cocktail to make a refreshing day time delight. After it was all said and done, the cocktail resembled a French 75 but with a tropical flair. Cheers.
1) Cut tangerine into quarters and remove the peel
2) Muddle one quarter of tangerine in glass
3) Combine rest of ingredients
4) Shake with ice and strain into Collins glass with fresh ice
5) Top off with Champagne or sparkling wine
6) Garnish with peel from tangerine or zest from an orange

Hi Ramblers,
Something I wanted to blog about today is around relationships in your twenties, and how it can be so difficult to understand what's right, what's wrong, and what you want. It's navigating endless waters and different turns, not knowing what's around each bend. And I'm not even talking romantic relationships, but all important connections that you make during this time.
I think what makes relationships so difficult in your early twenties is that there is no 'benchmark' to tell you where you should be. There is no normal. I have friends who are married, friends with kids, some who've never been kissed, and some who are still figuring out what they identify as and how to express their sexuality.
I know people who have amazing relationships with their parents, and some who never bother to call their mom anymore. There's those who still have a curfew well into adulthood and those who have had to be their own parent for over a decade.
I have friends who call in every day to check-in, and some I haven't seen in a very long time. There's those that were only there when it was convenient and those that would cross oceans to spend an hour together.
But no matter what, it's important to recognize that all of these different types of connections that you have in your life right now are normal…for you. There is no marker that you need to be at right now, there is no right number of friends, phone calls, boyfriends, etc. that you need to have.
And I think the most important relationship you should be nurturing and cultivating right now, regardless of what stage in your life you're at, is the relationship with YOURSELF. You have to be confidently, effortlessly, and humbly in love with yourself before you can truly nurture those other connections in your life.
Your twenties are for figuring out what you want, where you want to be, and what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. When you figure that out, the rest will come easy. You'll attract the significant other or friend or job, or whatever it is when you put that energy out into the world. I know that sounds super corny, but it's absolutely 100% true.
There are days that you will falter, there are days that you may be a horrible daughter, a crappy girlfriend, a terrible best friend, and a half-ass employee. But you get back up on your horse and you work on yourself. You can never give 100% to every role you play, but you can give full effort to nurturing yourself and radiating the most positive, altruistic energy you can into the world. And when you do that, it's much easier to effortlessly foster those relationships around you, and succeed in the areas you want to.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, that no matter what you're doing right now, it's all right. It's ok to take a deep breath, and just be you. I've been getting a bit down with the thought of Tomas leaving for school again in a few weeks, and I've missed some of my best friends who no longer live here. Sometimes I feel like I bug my parents too much, and other times I feel that I'm not around nearly as much as I should be. Sometimes I cringe at the thought of having to do long distance for another year, and sometimes I wonder if I'm doing enough for the people in my life.
But shoving all that anxiety and unknown aside, I know it's going to be alright in the end. And you will be too! Just keep trucking, ramblers.

We all have different relationships at this point of our lives and that is completely normal. We should learn how to take care of ourselves so that there will be no problem that might arise in the future. There should be limits to the things that we do so that there will be no painful emotions that we will feel. We can be extra careful in our relationships. Let us have some dignity and self respect.

Introduction: Have you ever wondered why things are so hard in your life or the lives of others? In our text, the Israelites were having a hard time because of their sins. This discussion centers on how "We should be mindful of God's goodness and our sins."
Key Points:
1. Egypt. Notice in vs. 1 the mention of God bringing His people out of Egypt. It would be difficult to find anything more central or significant to the Jewish experience than God's bringing them out of Egypt (see Ex. 11-12 for background).
As Black believers, we are tempted to think of God's bringing us out of American slavery as our central and significant event. However, the most central and significant bond is found in our faith in Christ (see II Cor. 5:21). Hell is worse than slavery.
Let's live like we are thankful for being delivered from Hell. This kind of living should be known for thankfulness. It should also be known for our inviting and bringing others to worship and growth groups, so they can experience God's goodness as well.
2. More blessings. Notice in vs. 1 that the Lord did bring His people out of Egypt, but He also brought them into Canaan. In like manner, not only did God save us from going to Hell, but He has been good to us, since we have been saved (e.g., health, finances, access to joy and peace, good people, etc.).
And the best is yet to come, if we obey God (see Eph. 3:20; Jer. 29:11). Let's live like we know that God has blessed us with salvation and more blessings. This kind of living should be known for thankfulness and obedience.
3. Preparation. Notice in Luke 16:10 that how we treat small matters is an indicator of how we will treat larger matters. Sometimes things are hard now as a way of preparing us for larger responsibilities. Sometimes things are hard to help us appreciate getting to the next level.
Think about how your job performance is important to you being able to lead others. A successful courtship is important to a successful marriage. Let's be open to God using hard times to prepare us for the next level.
4. God's mysterious plan. Notice in Isaiah 55:8-9 and Proverbs 3:5-6 that God works in mysterious way and we are called to simply trust and obey Him. When God's love and power allows for hard times in our lives that are not preparation or punishment, we have what the Pastor calls "mystery."
Why does God allow some of the ungodly and lazy people on your job to make more money than you make, even though you are into all of this studying, serving, and giving stuff? Why do some people hardly ever come to church and yet have happy marriages, but you suffer from either a bad marriage or no satisfying partnership?
Sometimes, the best and most respectful answer may be – mystery. Let's be open to our hard times being a part of God's mysterious plans. The good thing about God's plans is that they work out for our good (see Rom. 8:28).
5. Sin. Notice in Judges 2:2-3 and Galatians 6:7-8 that sin leads to punishment and hard times. One of the Israelites sin and a sin that too many of us are guilty of is keeping company with the wrong crowd. See Psalm 1:1; II Corinthians 6:14-18; and John 12:42-43. It is hard to be a happy, healthy, and wealthy disciple, when the people you spend time with are negative, reckless with their health, wasteful with their money, and demonstrate no commitment to obeying God.
Let's work on repenting from the sin of keeping company with the wrong crowd. I John 1:9 teaches that we can still confess our sins to God, receive His forgiveness, and press forward with living by His will.Please click here to let us know, if this has been quality and helpful information for you (i.e., make sure you let us know the name of the article).

I always tell people who are interested in coming to Africa that South Africa is a good, easy place to start. Cape Town is a like little Europe, and the whole country has wonderful animal parks with easy roads and great infrastructure. Kenya on the other hand has pot hole filled roads, layers of fine dust that gets into everything, and corruption in the government which leads to the bad infrastructure. However, Kenya provides something that countries in Southern Africa don't quite have, that wild Africa feeling where the animals still rule. The beauty of the wild animals, the incredible views like the endless savannas, the rift valley, and volcanic geology, and also amazingly nice people are what make Kenya so special. Over the last few days we have driven through herds of zebra and wildebeest in the savanna, we sipped a cold coke out of a glass bottle while overlooking the rift valley, but the most memorable things have been our interactions with people in different communities through our teaching baseball.
Looking back over our first few days of baseball it is a wonder that it has gone so well. The difficulties with the program started before I even landed in Africa. Checking the Africa news while on my layover in New York I read an article about how all of the public school teachers in Kenya were on strike which meant the schools were closed. Since we teach baseball at the schools I was a little worried. Turns out the teachers go on strike quite often (about every 2 years) because the government can follow through with a deal for a pay raise that was struck 15 years ago! So after landing in Nairobi, Kenya and following up with the teachers and games masters of our baseball school we realized that teaching there at the moment is impossible.
Luckily my father, Jim, has made many wonderful contacts here in Kenya over the past decade of baseball4africa who have been invaluable to the sport here. In fact one of these friends, George Kinuthia, met us at the airport and helped us problem solve were to start this baseball season. George manages a community sports program in his district of Kabete so that was our first stop. He actually opened up his house for me, Jim, and Jack to stay at where we met up with his son Tyson, and wife Njeri. We stayed there for two nights while training the Kabete Vikings baseball. They caught on very quick and really took to the game. I think they have a bright future with someone as passionate as George taking the lead.
The next day we traveled a few hours north to a town called Elburgon. This was a team that Jim had previously outfitted and trained with the help of some of the Japanese Embassy folks. I was blown away when we drove up to see the kids already on the field playing a game. I did not expect to see that level of knowledge of the game way out here. We trained with the kids here all morning and into the early afternoon, showing off different skills, games, and then even challenging them to a game; all of them against Jim, Jack, and me.
Food is very important here in Kenya, and if you have all of the neighborhood kids out all day, George instructed us that something like bread and juice would be greatly appreciated. So we brought about 12 loafs of bread and two big juice concentrates to mix with water which in the end fed about 70 kids. All of that for $17. Its things like this that change your whole perspective on things. So the first two days of teaching baseball were a great success. That's when we met the Chief of Twitter and things really got rolling. To be continued...
