The worst-laid plans often go awry.
Such was the case in Hillsboro, Missouri, where a burglary duo's purloinment of power tools and DVDs was interrupted by carnal passion.
The female cat burglar must not have appreciated the amorous advances — she elected to pepper spray her cohort and flee in the homeowner's car, according to an article by NBC affiliate KSDK.
Two miles down the road she ran the car into a pond.
The man was caught running down the road wearing nothing but a raincoat and lugging a bag of stolen goods.
It makes you wonder what kind of DVDs they found hidden in the garage.
Jefferson County police did not respond to emails and phone calls.
Sadly, there are no booking mugs online.

Purloinment …really??? Really showing off your higher education, aren't you? Too bad you would have failed journalism class. Remember, you have to write at the 8th grade level or you've lost most of your readers.

I am with you on this article Darcy! He lost me and I have a higher education. I believe that he thinks that he is better than the average person. I learned that in Psychology 191!

Mr. C & Darcy, please read more. I thought it was written well with a good sense of humor, especially compared to the typical newspaper articles that are so dumbed down your mind turns to mush. I hope this author got a few serious news pieces to write as well.
A couple of longer words shouldn't throw you, and if it does, just use the context. It's disturbing that you are complaining about this and criticizing the author for attempting to throw in a few less-frequently-heard words.

I do agree that introducing new vocabulary can be a good thing, but I also agree with the two above that "Purloinment" seemed a little out of place in there When first reading it, expecting it to be about them getting frisky during a burglary, I was thrown by the term and had to read the sentence twice as I recognized that sex with powertools and DVDs can be dangerous, and this was probably not what the author was trying to say I do feel it was a good article, maybe just that when using an obscure word, you have to make sure your reader knows what to expect to be reading. (haha, here i am critiquing and I'm sure my sentence structure is quite horrendous!)

Very funny story George, where do you find this stuff?
I personally like the challenge of the big words. Time I finish reading one of these blogs my IQ has gone up by at least 20 points, and I feel like I'm ready to go on Jeopardy and challenge Watson.

Making up new words? Read "Blood Meridian" and "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. He's the master at it. Funny thing is … his made-up words sound about right.

"Purloinment" is a newly coined word in this article. The accepted word is "purloining." But, I like the new word.
The bigger problem is this: "The man was caught running down the road wearing nothing but a raincoat and a bag of stolen goods." Why in the world was the man wearing a bag of stolen goods? Wouldn't he have been wearing just the raincoat and carrying the bag?

July 1st, 2011

Mr. C, it is YOU who think you are better than others, touting "101″ bologna and then judging others with it. The article isn't full of uncommon words, just 1. So the people who are reading at 8th grade level have been given a small lesson, if they choose to pursue it. Personally, I appreciate seeing a new word or 2 in context. Definitely not overwhelming.

This article contains several puns: The first is "worst-laid." "Purloinment" plays on the word "loin", and the "pur" refers back to the woman cat burglar. Brian is right that the man should not be understood to be wearing a bag of stolen goods.

If the word "purloin" is foreign to some of you with "higher education", it reflects the quality of education in this country. It is NOT an indictment of you personally nor your intelligence, but merely an indicator. Walt Kelly had it right in the cartoon series "Pogo"; "we have met the enemy and he is us".

I am a man of higher education & I pride myself in new and unique words…never heard purloin, so thanks for introducing it to me….my grandfather always said ridicule is the burden of genius, and no matter how u use purloin, if people don't think ur genius, they will criticize
so here's my 2 pennies worth:
01. I didn't understand the word & therefore didn't know what the sentence was meant, as i couldnt i took it in context & just figured it meant the love of power tools & dvds
02. I appreciate you trying to liven up the article, but the usage of wearing the raincoat & bag of stolen goods was a harsher crime, but not all caught that-
anyway, you taught me something & to err is human, everyone criticize you now, has erred in some capacity…no ones perfect.

Whether or not the dictionary shows "purloinment" as a word, it has been repeatedly used by many others prior to the author of this article. How about just calling it a colloquialism and dropping it. You guys sound like a bunch of Mensa punks trying to throw your intellectual weight around. If you don't like it, become a journalist yourselves and show him how it's done with your boring discourse. Otherwise, save your narrow minded machinations for your next nerd meeting. Just sayin'.

Wow! This article took all of about 15 seconds to read and there was not an unfamiliar word in it! Purloin is a very common word, perhaps not in every day conversation, but certainly in written word. Do you people not read much? How embarrassing for you.
July 3rd, 2011

It probably takes less time to look up "purloin" or "purloinment" online than it does to complain about it. I thought it was a clever choice of words — it contains the word "loin" and it's an article about sex.

I would have to say, this is a very poorly written article. Despite showing off the big vocabulary, the author fails in grammar. How do you wear a bag of stolen goods?

This is a blog. Therefore, it is allowed a little more freedom than a hard news story. Hence, words like "purloinment" and the editorializing in the last three paragraphs. And the cutline on the picture, of course.
July 4th, 2011
12:58 pm
No you guys are the losers. Attacking a writer because of his use of the language? Because you don't get it. Fine, then why comment? You write and then we'll judge. The use of the word doesn't matter in the content of the story.
July 4th, 2011
2:56 pm
If we're going to speak of the journalist's grammar, how about this: 1. "…wearing nothing but a raincoat and a bag of stolen goods." ? He was wearing a bag of stolen goods?And, 2. "…there's no booking mugs…" ? How about, there ARE no booking mugs. plural subject-singular verb. Happens all the time if you notice.
Nevertheless, the article is a nice one.

Wow Darcy! Are you jealous? Not everyone's an idiot. Maybe if journalists took advantage of our manifold language, people would become familiar with more locutions and rise above an eighth-grade scholarship.

COVERT, MI (WKZO) -- The nuclear reactor at the Palisades facility in Covert is slowly being brought back up to full generation after a pipe in the steam generation system sprung a leak. That particular pipe couldn't be isolated and repaired while the reactor was running and so they shut it down Sunday afternoon, replaced the leaky pipe and a nearby valve. The disruption lasted just under 69 hours.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Jimmy Butler had 19 points and Carlos Boozer added 16 points and 12 rebounds and the Chicago Bulls handed the injury-riddled San Antonio Spurs their third straight loss, 96-86 on Wednesday night.
D.J. Augustin and Taj Gibson added 15 points each and Joakim Noah had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Chicago.
Tony Parker had 20 points and Tim Duncan had 17 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio, which hadn't lost back-to-back games until this current skid.
The Spurs were without Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Tiago Splitter.
It led to a disjointed and inconsistent offense for San Antonio.

Japan's earthquake: How to avoid charity scams
Scammers abound after any disaster. Here's how to figure out which organizations are legitimate and best equipped to help.
This post comes from Matt Brownell at partner site MainStreet.
In the wake of disasters like the earthquake and tsunami that just hit Japan, many people will reach for their checkbooks to contribute to charities assisting in the relief effort. But before you do, it's important to make sure you're not getting scammed into giving your money to the wrong people.
Sadly, some scammers will try to take advantage of tragedies by setting up fake charities and getting unsuspecting victims to donate to what they believe are relief efforts. And even some legitimate charities are nevertheless unworthy of your hard-earned dollars, either because they're ill-equipped to handle large disasters or because too much of their money is spent on overhead. Post continues after video.
So how can you avoid these scams and make sure your money goes to the people who really need it? "First and foremost, we always advise in these situations that donors avoid brand-new charities," says Sandra Miniutti, spokesperson for the charity ratings site Charity Navigator.
She says the FBI tracked about 4,000 phony charity websites that cropped up in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, with some scammers launching their sites before the hurricane had even made landfall. As the body count rises in Japan, we can expect similar websites soliciting donations for what they claim are disaster relief efforts.
Legitimate but ill-equipped
That's not to say that every new charity that pops up in the coming days is going to be a scam. But Miniutti says that even legitimate funds and charities that appear after a disaster may not be the best target for your dollars.
"Even groups with the best of intentions, there's no way they'll be effective," she says. "It's better to concentrate on ones that focus on the region, or have (experience with) relief and recovery." Her organization points to a few charities it considers particularly effective and well-equipped to handle disasters of this proportion, including AmeriCares, International Rescue Committee, Save the Children and the American Red Cross.
The good news is that it's easy to give to these and other charities, with many organizations allowing people to donate through social media websites or even by text message.
Texting isn't the fastest way to donate
But before you make a donation, Miniutti recommends taking an extra few minutes to verify that your money is going where you think it is. If you get an e-mail or see a Facebook post imploring you to text a mobile number to give to the Red Cross, for instance, check the organization's website first to confirm the veracity of the number.
And even if it is a legitimate number, the Better Business Bureau notes that text donations can take longer to arrive and may limit the amount you can donate, so giving directly through a website is probably your best bet.
Here are a few other tips for avoiding scams and getting your money to the best organizations:
- Be wary of direct appeals. Charity Navigator recommends avoiding telemarketers claiming to represent a charity, and the Better Business Bureau says to ignore any e-mail from someone claiming to be a victim (unless, of course, it's someone you know in Japan). It also warns that e-mails that come with attachments could be just a way to deliver a virus to your computer.
- Treat claims with skepticism. The BBB specifically singles out organizations that claim that 100% of all donations go to victims. Such a charity simply does not exist. While some organizations are more efficient than others, every organization has overhead costs relating to administration and advertising. Any charity that claims to give 100% of all donations directly to victims is either grossly exaggerating its effectiveness or isn't a charity at all.
- Ask the right questions. The Federal Trade Commission, which investigates fraud, has a number of tips for doing your due diligence on a charity that asks for your money. In addition to asking what percentage of donations go to overhead, you should also ask whether the person soliciting the donation is a staffer or volunteer of the organization itself or a paid third-party fundraiser. If it's the latter, chances are that's going to further deduct from the final sum that winds up with the people who need it.
- Check credentials. If you're not sure whether a charity is legitimate, a good place to start is the Internal Revenue Service. Charities that want to receive tax-deductible donations have to be registered with the IRS, so the vast majority of legitimate charities can quickly be found on the agency's charity page. Of course, that doesn't tell you anything about their overhead costs or area of focus. For that information, we recommend checking out Charity Navigator or the Better Business Bureau's charity site.
Regardless of where you decide to donate, it's probably best to wait a bit before opening your purse strings. While it may be tough to stand by and do nothing while the tragedy unfolds, the fact is that most charities have yet to formally announce any action in the region. The International Rescue Committee, for instance, is on "standby alert," but notes that the Japanese government may not need a significant amount of assistance from international aid organizations.
Even once the country does open its doors to these organizations, it may take some time to determine where the area of the greatest need is. While many charitably minded people are chomping at the bit to help, it may be best to hold on to your money until it's clear where it can do the most good.

- Minnesota flu season off to a quick and severe start
Flu continues to spread across the country, but the severity of illness may be going down in some regions, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday, Jan.11.
In its weekly update on influenza, officials pointed to several flu activity measures that continued to rise and others that fell.
"The bottom line is, it's flu season, and most of the country is seeing influenza activity or has seen it, and it may continue for a number of weeks," CDC Director Tom Frieden said.
Flu is notoriously hard to predict. The dip in flu severity in some parts of the country -- the South and Southeast -- may be because fewer people went to the doctor during the holidays, officials said.
Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, according to the latest CDC data for the week ending Jan. 5. The only states without widespread flu are California, Mississippi and Hawaii.
The number of states experiencing high levels of influenza-like illness fell to 24 from 29 the previous week, the CDC said. But more states reported moderate flu-like illness.
Each year, there tends to be an increase in flu activity toward the end of the year, followed by "a little notch downward," said Joseph Bresee, chief of epidemiology at CDC's influenza division. "I wouldn't be surprised if the curve went up next week."
Officials also said preliminary data show this year's flu vaccine to be about 62 percent effective, or moderately effective, in line with years past.
This year's season started about a month earlier than normal and has hit hard. Higher-than-anticipated demand for vaccine has caused spot shortages across the country and made vaccine hard to find in some areas.
The proportion of death certificates that include "pneumonia or influenza" as the cause of death rose to 7.3 percent last week. That is just over the official "epidemic threshold" of 7.2 percent but is not unusual for this time of year.
The flu season runs from late September through late May, and influenza typically peaks in January or February, though sometimes later. In early December, the CDC said it was noticing an uptick in flu activity about a month before authorities typically see it.
Even though vaccine may be harder to find and the vaccine is "far less than we wish it would be," Frieden urged those who haven't done so to get vaccinated. "It's still the best tool by far we have to prevent the flu."

The lightweight and simple Amphipod Swift-Clip Cap Light makes your favorite running hat or visor ready for the dark with 2 bright white LEDs to increase your presence for drivers on the road. Clip it onto the front bill and click the button on top for flashing strobe mode or a constant beam of bright white light.
Comments: I don't recommend. It worked for two weeks and then it stopped.I should have just bought a headlamp which I have to now. I got took. From: Pete, Saginaw, MI, USA. May 4th 2014
Comments: This light is so tiny that I was startled when I switched it on and it was bright!! Super lightweight when clipped to my visor and very easy to see in the dark. I didn't use the strobe function because I don't like a light on my head to be pulsing. From: Smitha, Atlanta, GA
Comments: This is a great light for being seen, not so much for seeing if you really need light thrown out in front of you. The strobe function is useless for a hat brim light unless you're trying to give yourself a seizure. However, I've put this on my shoes where it works great. The clip itself won't secure it so I've threaded the laces through it. I expect high quality products from Amphipod and unlike the Full Vis Flash clip-on from them, this meets my expectations. From: Sky, HVL, CA
Comments: Small in size but incredibly bright for those night runs. From: Andrew, Des Moines, Iowa

Oasis OH-4 Humigel Replacement KitThis kit contains a small package of Humigel crystals sufficient to refill 4-6 times, instructions, a .15 cc scoop to accurately measure the amount of crystals needed and a 10cc. syringe. Including the syringe in this package will both reduce crystals loss and encourage the use of distilled water for filling the humidifier. The dry crystals should retain their potency for 5 years or more. One replacement kit should last for several years even if you have several humidifiers to refill annually.The Humigel crystals inside the Oasis guitar humidifier are designed to last a long time. There are, however, situations where replacement is needed. Here are some examples:A purchaser, not familiar with the product, might look inside and not see the crystals, turn the humidifier upside down spilling the dry crystals out. Humigel crystals absorb 500 times their weight in water so the volume of dry crystals needed in the humidifier is extremely small (.3 cubic centimeters to be exact), making them almost invisible at the bottom of the humidifier. When this happens, Oasis recommends that the buyer shake the remaining crystals out and add two level scoops (.15 cc's each) in the top to replace the lost crystals. The humidifier needs .3cc's of crystals (no more/no less).A second common problem comes when the purchaser tries to fill the humidifier too rapidly and washes the crystals out. When this happens, Oasis recommends rinsing the humidifier thoroughly with water and then adding two scoops of crystals.Oasis recommends that the Oasis only be held by the colored shrink tubing located at the top or bottom. The middle portion is made of a soft breathable fabric. Squeezing the humidifier by the middle when the cap is removed will cause water and crystals to be ejected. If this happens, wash the inside of the humidifier thoroughly to clean out all crystals and refill with two scoops of dry crystals.Lastly, unless you live in a place where the humidity is low all year long, most people use the humidifier during the fall and winter. When not in use for a long period of time, the humidifier will completely dry out and the crystals will cake up. If you have been using distilled water, you can re-start the existing crystals with a small amount of warm distilled water to prepare them to absorb water again. If you have not been using distilled water, Oasis recommends that you clean out the humidifier and replace the crystals. Dissolved minerals in the water will eventually clog both the fabric and the crystals reducing product performance.

CAD Walk 2012: From the Desert of Nevada, Demanding Justice for Trayvon

I disagree with this post in that it is doing exactly what it rallies against – labeling individuals based on appearances or misconceptions. Until ALL of the fact are settled in the shooting incident, no one has the right to judge/condemn either party at this point. I am surprised that America's Voice allows this blog post as it only tarnishes the image of this outstanding organization.
- April 17, 2012 at 5:52 am
We, as humans, always want to label. There is nothing wrong with Alex's writing. He emphasizes on the fact that there are people out there who make assumptions based on very little. However, he remains proud of the characteristics that make him who he is.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Himax Technologies as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 13.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- HIMX's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.17 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.41, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, HIMAX TECHNOLOGIES INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 250.56% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, HIMX should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.

Iron is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. In humans, iron is an essential component of proteins involved in oxygen transport. It is also essential for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. A deficiency of iron limits oxygen delivery to cells, resulting in fatigue, poor work performance, and decreased immunity. Conversely, excess amounts of iron can result in toxicity and even death.160-162
Supplementation with iron protein succinylate has been shown to:
Iron protein succinylate is a highly absorbable form of iron and is easier on the stomach than other forms of iron.166,167 Iron protein succinylate is a non-toxic iron compound.

Symmetrical Distribution
Definition of 'Symmetrical Distribution'
A situation in which the values of variables occur at regular frequencies, and the mean, median and mode occur at the same point. Unlike asymmetrical distribution, symmetrical distribution does not skew. A symmetrical distribution is commonly shaped like a bell curve when depicted on a graph. If a line is drawn down the middle of the graph, the two sides will mirror each other.
Also called a "symmetric distribution" or "normal distribution".
Investopedia explains 'Symmetrical Distribution'
A type of symmetrical distribution that is not shaped like a bell curve is a bimodal symmetric distribution. This graph is shaped like two bell curves placed side by side. The two sides of this graph still mirror each other; however, only the mean and median occur at the same point - the center of the graph. The modes occur at two points: the highest point in each of the two bell curves.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) -- A 27-year-old Jamestown man is in a Bismarck hospital after crashing a motorcycle while trying to flee police.
Authorities say the man led officers on a chase Wednesday that at times reached speeds in excess of 120 mph. They allege that he threw items from his pockets during the 36-mile chase on Interstate 94.
The pursuit ended near Crystal Springs when the man lost control of the motorcycle. He suffered injuries to his back, an arm and a leg. His condition was not known.
Formal charges are pending in the case.

San Francisco, California
By Stephen Lam
Sometimes, you just have to wait.
A few weeks ago I was assigned to photograph the closure of the Lusty Lady, the first unionized and worker-owned strip club in the United States, located in San Francisco's popular North Beach neighborhood.
In the week leading up to the event, I had a difficult time getting in touch with my contact at the club, but I was finally able to get the green light two days before it shut. The club had been extremely busy since the closure was announced, but they allowed us to cover the story on the condition that I remained respectful to everyone there: challenge accepted.
As part of the closure, the club hosted a New Orleans-style funeral procession around the neighborhood before the final night of shows at the club. I was greeted by the sight of current and former dancers from all over the country, along with curious onlookers.
As the procession continued to grow, the dancers began to strip in the streets – a move met with confusion from many bystanders who were enjoying their dinners or just walking by.
Once the procession was over, I followed the mass back to the club where some of the dancers performed routines as the others turned the sidewalk into an impromptu lounge to relax and to catch up with friends.

BIRDLAND — The league's premier in-season event, Monday Night Football, returns to Atlanta after a two-year hiatus.
The Falcons' 2010 schedule is highlighted with two national television appearances, including one outing on Monday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
The Falcons will host the Saints at 8:30 p.m. on Mon., Dec. 27 at the Georgia Dome. The game will be televised on ESPN.
The Falcons other nationally televised game will be against the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 p.m. on Thur., Nov. 11 at the Georgia Dome. The game will be televised by the NFL Network.
The Falcons played on Monday Night Football last season, but the game was in New Orleans. In 2008, the team did not play any prime time games.
The Falcons last played at home on Monday on Dec. 10, 2007 against the Saints. It would be Bobby Petrino's last game as the head coach, a 34-14 drubbing.
The Falcons have the 20th toughest schedule in the league based on their opponents' records in 2009 (127-129).
Last season, the Falcons finished 9-7 to post the franchise's first back-to-back winning seasons. However, the team, which was beset with injuries to key starters in running back Michael Turner and quarterback Matt Ryan, posted only one victory over a team (New York Jets) that finished last season with a winning record.
In 2010, the Falcons will face six non-division opponents – Arizona (10-6), Green Bay (11-5), Baltimore (9-7), Philadelphia (11-5), Cincinnati (10-6) and New England (10-6) — who posted winning records last season.
Here's a look at the Falcons 2010 Schedule:
Preseason games: Kansas City — 8 p.m. Fri., Aug. 13; New England – 8 p.m., Thur., Aug. 19; At Miami, 7 p.m. Fri., Aug. 27; At Jacksonville – 7:30 p.m., Thur., Sept. 2
Date: Sept. 12, 1 p.m.
Last season: 9-7, third in AFC North.
The skinny: Ben Roethlisberger could be suspended, but the Steelers still have Hines Ward.
Date: Sept. 19, 1 p.m.
Last season: 10-6, first in NFC West.
The skinny: Quarterback Matt Leinart will get his chance to take over for the retired Kurt Warner.
Date: Sept. 26, 1 p.m.
Last season: 13-3, first is NFC South.
The skinny: The Saints had some key losses during free agency.
Date: Oct. 3, 1 p.m.
Last season: 8-8, second in NFC West.
The skinny: The 49ers will be seeking revenge from the 45-10 whipping the Falcons put on them last season.
Date: Oct. 10, 1 p.m.
Last season: 5-11, fourth in AFC North.
The skinny: Tennessee safety Eric Berry, of Creekside High, could land with the Browns.
Date: Oct. 17, 1 p.m.
Last season: 11-5, second in NFC East.
The skinny: Off to see the Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick show.
Date: Oct. 24, 1 p.m.
Last season: 10-6, first in AFC North.
The skinny: The Bengals picked up wide receiver Antonio Bryant in free agency.
BYE WEEK, Oct. 31
Date: Nov. 7, 1 p.m.
Last season: 3-13, fourth in NFC South.
The skinny: The Buccaneers will rely on quarterback Josh Freeman from the outset.
Date: Thur., Nov. 11, 8:20 p.m. (NFL Network)

The skinny: Ray Lewis and Ed Reed continue to lead the defense.

The skinny: The Packers feature the passing of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Date: Dec. 5, 1 p.m.
Date: Dec. 12, 1 p.m.
Last season: 8-8, third in NFC South.
The skinny: The Panthers have turned the page on the Jake Delhomme era.
Date: Dec. 19, 1 p.m.
Last season: 5-11, third in the NFC West.
The skinny: Pete Carroll has returned to the NFL.
Date: Monday, Dec. 27, 8:30 (ESPN)
Date: Jan. 2, 1 p.m.
BYE WEEK BREAKDOWN: The Falcons will have their bye week after playing seven games, one game short of the halfway point of the season.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The will have to prove their mettle on the road or risk getting off to a bad start in 2010. To open the season, they will play four of their first six games on the road. Under head coach Mike Smith the Falcons are 7-10 on the road, including the wildcard loss in Arizona after the 2008 season.
THROW BACK GAMES: The Falcons will wear their throwback uniforms in two home games. They will make their uniform decisions at a later time.
HOME SWEET HOME: After the bye week, the Falcons will play three of four games at home against Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Green Bay.

11-5…………10-6 at worst
This is the year to take it to the next level. Just like every team every year it all depends on health. We are due for another healthy year after last year's injury pileup.
Defense will be improved, so it's up to Matty Ice to take HIS game to the next level and become an elite QB.

Atlanta will be 11-5, maybe 12-4. They will beat the Saints both games in 2010, if they can get some pass rush and the O-line can stay healthy, and give the QB just a little more time.

Just hope the NFL doesn't stick them with a schedule like 2009, facing 4 teams coming off their bye-weeks. I believe that lead to many of their injuries.
But, it would be real nice to see the NFL give the Saints a schedule like that in 2010.

Thinking the first 4 (or whatever) teams on Pittsburgh's schedule will rejoice at potentially dodging Rothlesberger!
Also thinking the first 4 (or whatever) teams on the Falcons schedule will rejoice if they have a run first offense, they will dodge Babs.
April 20th, 2010
9:54 am
This is a much easier list of opponents than last year. None of these games are no-brainer losses. The only games that I would "mildly accept" a loss are:
at NO
at PITT
The Falcons, if healthy, could easily go 13-3, 12-4. This is the year to believe that we have a shot to go the distance. Defense will be loaded with Moore (SS-HITMAN) coming back, veteran CB in Robinson, new rookie DE (Graham)/rookine LB (Spoon), Abe reloaded with Jerry back, linebackers headhunting with Lofton in the middle, the BEST D-Lineman in the game (Babs) and one of the best up and coming FSs in the league (DeCoud).
Just a word on DeCoud…DOL, check the film out on this guy last year. I've been looking and he had about 6-7 plays where he literally knocked the other teams RB OUT OF THE GAME. The guy looks kinds scrawny, but man can he hit. Get a healthy, productive Moore in with him and you just might have something. Really.
We should be more than stout on defense in 2010. Our season comes down to this: teams will do two things to stop the birds. (1) crowd the line of scrimmage to stop the potent run attack. The Falcons will be forced to go down the field with the pass and hit "spots" all over the field. To slow this…teams will (2) roll the coverage to Roddy and drop a LB to an intermediate zone to bracket Tony G. Will the Ryan/Jenkins connection be strong enough to get us through?

I heard some rumors that the Falcons may be on the Thursday opener at New Orleans…. That would be a dynamic way to kickoff our Superbowl Run Season!!!!!!!!!! Dirty Birds 4 Life…

When will the league stop making the Falcons the sacrificial lambs for the Saints on Monday nights? I just don't want the Falcons to be playing the Thursday night opener in that town when they unleash the super bowl banner.

I am looking forward to the Ravens game, time for a showdown between Ryan and Flacco. I'm telling you, Flacco will not put up meaningful numbers. With Boldin in the mix I think you'll see Flacco's interceptions soar. I love this schedule, they split with New Orleans, take both from the Bucs and Panthers, they will take Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Seattle, and Philadelphia. Just as much as the Eagles game is a pay back game so is San Francisco for the 49er's, we take one on the chin there. I am saying…………………14-2………………you Dirty Birds!!
April 20th, 2010
10:52 am
I would'nt be surprised if that Ravens game is on Monday or Sunday night. Ryan vs Flacco sounds like a prime time game.
April 20th, 2010
10:56 am
The Saints got the victory against the Falcons last year on Sunday night,
due to a brilliant performance by their QB and his recievers, luck, and a lot of bad calls and non-calls by the Men IN Stripes, all of them in NO's favor. And even then they had to play their a$$e's off, as the game went down to the wire. They had a lot of help from the Ref's in the second game with the Falcons and barely won, even with the Falcons using their 2nd QB and RB.
The Falcons will beat the Saints 2 times in 2010.
April 20th, 2010
10:56 am
My guess is that we get Green Bay here on a Monday night….we play N O on a Saturday on NFL network in December and we play @ Philly or Pitt on a Sunday night….
April 20th, 2010
10:57 am
Frederick, why would you think that the NO game would be an acceptable loss? The Falcons should'nt have lost to them last year. Would have beaten them in the Superdome if not for a tipped ball interception at the end of the game. Only lost to them in ATL because Ryan and Turner was'nt playing. Even came close to beating them with Redman starting. I expect at least one maybe two wins against them. We are just as good or better than them.
April 20th, 2010
11:04 am
The Saints will be a chanting, –WHO DAT, WHO DAT, WHO DAT WAS, THAT STOMPED OUR A$$'s– twice after the BIRDS get through with them in 2010!
April 20th, 2010
11:04 am
This schedule looks much easier than last year, and we should sweep the Bucs and the Panthers and get either one or both games against the Saints. Even the hardest game (against the Steelers) looks really beatable since they'll most likely have a different quarterback playing. I can't wait to see the Ravens game though, been waiting for Ryan vs Flacco for a while.
April 20th, 2010
11:17 am
I agree we really should have won both games against the Saints. Looking for payback this year. Ryan should move on from a sophmore season and be much better, but the play calling has to improve. Much to predictable last year. Need to stretch the field more and mix it up with more underneath stuff. Get Roddy downtown more and open up underneath for Tony G.
April 20th, 2010

I like it SHO-NUFF!! I feel a 12-4 on the horizon. GO FALCONS!!!!

Whatzup DOL, Cant wait to see the sched later today. Hope we dont start off with N.O. away on thursday night. Say Mr. Pouncey… uh I mean Mr. Ledbetter (lol) Are there any whispers about a trade to get us in the 2nd round or if it happens will it be when we are on the clock. What's the scoop ?

Brutal schedule. 10-6 would be playing well. Mon NO, Sat- Pit, Sun nite – GB…or not. (Ryan v Flacco is intriguing…but not as much as 3 double meat burritos….later…

Falcons schedule rated #20 difficulty

- based on NFL.com, combined opposing teams records..
how does the Super Bowl Champ have one of the easiest schedules in the league??? Consiperacy??

Do we ALWAYS play the Steelers in Pittsburgh? Sure seems that way, and no time to Look It Up.
April 20th, 2010

I hear you…I got a little overexcited with the schedule coming out tonight and the draft on Thursday. Whe you take a step back, you really notice how LOADED we are.
What if Harry Douglas comes back completely healthy and in 2008 form?

jpage327: The Saints game will be in NO and ATL. You do realize we play our division opponents home and away each year right? At least I hope you do. And as for the Saints I hope we do play them when they unviel their SB Banner. No better way to start the season by smacking that taste right out of their mouths and breaking their spirits on our way to a ROUT!!!

No matter what!
We get a winning record for the 3rd year in a row.
A playoff birth then it is on like Donkey Kong.
SuperBowl baby!
The defense is going to be stout…just think all those picks last year are healthy now and we added a piece, going to add some through the draft and BAM!
Superbowl bound!
April 20th, 2010
12:21 pm
About the throwback uniforms- I wish instead of the throwbacks, the Falcons would go with their current logo, but on a red helmet. I think that would look sharp for a game or so.
Anyway, Falcons are set up for a decent season. Let's keep everyone healthy and get some fans in the stands to help the Falcons go all the way! Go Birds!!!

I live in Seattle and will be rep'n my Matty Ice #2 jersey and laughing as we cream the Seachickens… I will prob get beat up but it will be worth it!!! To be honest though Qwest field is soooo much sweeter than the GA dome. They should build a new stadium at the old GM plant in Doraville.
April 20th, 2010

I'm guessing a Flacco vs. Ryan Monday night game is in store. Or at least Sunday Night.
April 20th, 2010

I come up with 10-6! Five weeks in a row on the road! Brutal!

MADISON, WI (WSAU) The Wisconsin women's basketball team beat Indiana yesterday, 65-to-52 in Madison. The Badgers shot 53-percent in the first half, and took 14-point lead to the locker room.
Wisconsin was still up by 12 with eight minutes left, but they only scored six more points the rest of the way. And the Hoosiers were even worse, scoring just five in the final 8:03. Wisconsin out-shot Indiana for the game, 44-to-40 percent, and the Badgers weathered an 0-for-11 streak from three-point range in the second half.
Morgan Paige led Wisconsin with 17 points. Jasmine McGhee scored 14 for Indiana, which dropped to 1-and-10 in the Big Ten and 10-and-14 overall. Cassie Rochel had 15 rebounds to go with 12 points for the Badgers, who improved to 3-and-8 in the conference and 11-and-13 overall.
Coach Bobbie Kelsey said Wisconsin needed the win badly, after coming off a double-overtime loss to Ohio State. The Badgers will host Purdue on Thursday night. The Marquette women went above .500 overall, with a 60-to-56 win at Villanova yesterday. The Golden Eagles out-rebounded 'Nova 42-to-27. And Marquette had a 12-to-2 scoring edge in second-chance points.
The Eagles trailed by two at the break, and they didn't create much breathing room until Sarina Simmons hit a three-pointer with 1:17 left which put Marquette up by five. The Eagles' defense held the Wildcats to 26-percent shooting in the second half. Villanova shot 0-for-12 from three-point range in the final 20 minutes.
Laura Sweeney had a game-high 26 points for 'Nova, which dropped to 5-and-5 in the Big East and 16-and-7 overall. Katherine Plouffe scored 15 for Marquette, which improved to 4-and-6 in the conference and 12-and-11 overall.
The Eagles will play at Cincinnati on Wednesday night. Tonight, the Marquette men play at Georgetown.

Enough with the Mess Already! Non-shedding Doormats
I've finally come to the conclusion that not all doormats are created equal. While the $10 coir doormat from Target seemed like a good idea at the time, the cheap price tag should have also clued me into the kind of quality I'd be getting. For those with an entryway that doesn't open immediately into their livingroom, this might not be an issue — but when the fur-balls pale in comparison to the constant vacuuming of shedding coir fibers, then yes, it's time for a change!
Here are a few of the contenders, although currently the Chilewich Shag and Cape Cod are leading the pack!
1 Chilewich Shag Doormat/Utility Mat - Tufted from durable vinyl yarns for a textured "looped" look. $45 - $150
2 Diamond Stainless Doormat - A non-rust stainless steel overlay backed with non-skid rubber matting, $68
3 Tree Trimmings Doormat - Formed rounds of small cutaway branches on an EVA backing, $75
4 Lattice Rubber Doormat - Made from 100% eco-friendly rubber with a molded base to keep it in place, $25 - $59
5 Cape Cod Doormat - Made from polypropylene cordage which contains a UV additive to prevent fading, $35 - $80
So while coir mats (also known as coconut fiber) of all sorts will be banned from my front door forever, I will be ushering in doormats of a different kind; vinyl, rubber, even rope. Has anyone else had to deal with coir fibers being tracked throughout their house?

Once you go Chilewich you'll never go back. They are great for the kitchen too.
I have coir mats from IKEA at the front and back doors. So far they've never shed, not even after stomping the Chicago winter off my boots and onto them for months at a time.
This is a timely Roundup! I'm thinking of getting a few of the ubiquitous Flor tiles as a mini rug, but I like the Chilewich mats a lot. I'm not sure how they'd handle winter mess, though, since they can't absorb any moisture at all. Thoughts?
I got the recycled lobster trap rope doormat from Green Depot and it's great. Cheaper than those listed too. It's not shedding but I've only had it about a month, so I have not yet seen what it will be like in the long term. But it seems awfully sturdy.
chilewich are the BEST!!! I have a big one in my kitchen. Looks good and so easy to clean (except for play doh)
we have the TRAMPA door mat from IKEA (a latex-backed fiber mat)... at under $10, it makes a lot of sense for a house with so many entries/exits/sliding doors as ours. we have one on the inside and outside of each major thru-way (8, at least). They trap dirt much better than the flat (or tufted) vinyl mats (and we have a few of those, too) at a fraction of the price.
We have an Ikea option that's served us well and I just got 2 of the indoor/outdoor flor tiles to serve as a door mat- I think they will go outside (under an overhang they will be fine.)
Cape Cod Doormats are made in America! Buy quality and buy American.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Governor Snyder plans to sign legislation moving the state's Court of Claims out of the Ingham County Circuit Court and under the umbrella of the Court of Appeals.
Democrats in the state House denounced it as a "political power grab" and called it "embarrassing." The vote in the House was close, with the measure passing 57-52 after it had already been approved by the Senate.
Representative Sam Singh of East Lansing went so far as to call the bill unconstitutional, and other Democrats claim the move was done because Ingham County judges have typically ruled against Republican interests.

U.S. To Experiment With Cross-Border Cargo Truck Pre-Inspection In Canada
By Tom Banse
The federal government announced a pilot project April 24 to pre-inspect some trucks before they cross into the U-S from Canada. That will have U.S. officers working on Canadian soil.
The ultimate goal here is to reduce congestion and wait times at busy border crossings. Michelle James is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection field operations director in Seattle. She says Canada has agreed to allow U.S. officers to staff a new inspection booth amongst the cargo trucks queuing at the Pacific Highway crossing near Blaine, Washington.
Michelle James: "What we're trying to do is identify if we do the pre-inspection in advance on the Canadian side, if there's no exam, can we allow for that truck to flow through that port without having to stop. In the end, what that may allow us to do is have less congestion at the border itself."
James says her agency will try cargo pre-inspection experimentally for about six months and then reevaluate. There's plenty of precedent for stationing customs and immigration officers on foreign soil. If you've come home from British Columbia by train, ferry or airliner lately, you probably went through U.S. passport control in Canada.

Adrienne Maloof & Sean StewartReal Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof is making all sorts of headlines these days. Late last year, it was because she and Paul Nassif decided to call it quits in a nasty, mudslinging divorce. Then it was because Brandi Glanville blurted out that she had a surrogate carry her twin boys. And now it's because she and Rod Stewart's son, Sean Stewart, have moved in together. What?
Apparently, things have heated up with Adrienne and Sean -- who, P.S., "has a reputation as a womanzier, and doesn't have a steady job" -- to the point of shacking up. These two crazy kids just started dating a few weeks ago. What could possibly go wrong?
Besides everything, not much, I guess. I mean, when an out of work 32-year-old dude with a previous drug problem starts dating an incredibly wealthy 51-year-old lady who's in the throes of a divorce, seems like everything is going to work out just peachy, right? And by "just peachy," I mean "poorly." And by "poorly," I mean "awful." And by "awful," I mean "this breakup will be of cataclysmic proportions."
It's Adrienne's life, and she can do what she wants, but all I have to say is watch that money, girl. You may be all loved up right now, but May-December romances with super rich ladies (or dudes) often are for one reason and one reason only.
Do you think Adrienne should steer clear of Sean Stewart?
Image via Pacific Coast News
Just proves she's the idiot I have always thought she was! What were all those nasty remarks she made about Brandi? Yeah...right! By the way, you can't BUY brains, so she's totally out of luck!!!
Yeah, she's going to wait to tell her kids their a surrogate babies until ten, but shacks up with a loser. Um ok, what about the welfare of those kids now?
Also accuses Brandi of being on drugs and being a bad mom, prob not true, but what is ironic, she is 100% (factual) shacking up with a former drug user, one month after a divorce. I hate slinging "bad Mom" around, but it doesn't seem like she's being a "smart mom."

Games for Lunch: Rapala: We Fish
Developer: Fun Labs
Publisher: Activision
Release Date: Sept. 22, 2009
System: Wii
ESRB Rating: E
Official Web site
0:00 I've never met a fishing game I really liked, but I'm in the mood for something out of the ordinary today. Plus the back of the box promises "24 wild and wacky fish," so how can I lose?
0:01 "A Nunchuk is required," the game tells me, with a picture of a Nunchuk in case I was confused. In the middle of a lake, a Crocodile Dundee lookalike casts a reel. Cut to an old grey-bearded fellow with a cane and top hat tap-dancing around a stage. "Ladies and gentlemen," he begins. "My name is Seymour Breem, one of the richest men in the world and the leading expert and fan of the sport of SPEED FISHING! I'm just crazy enough to offer the winner of this contest the prize of one billion dollars. Let's begin the first global speed fishing tournament!" Dundee brings up a fish, who flies straight to the camera and screams "Gooooo fish!" in an extremely unsettling way. The next minutes is an insane montage of stereotypical characters doing nutty things on small boats. Rather than try to describe it, I'll just list a few choice quotes I managed to get down: "I'm gonna be a billionaire cowboy!" "Now the fun begins." "Hey ninja ... eat my duck." "Ninjaaaa Magic!" "Weeeee FISH!" That was ... not at all what I was expecting. Also ... Speed Fishing?
0:06 I guess I'll start with Tournament mode. There's a two-player co-op tournament option, which would be nice if I could ever imagine any of my friends wanting to play a speed fishing game.
0:07 My character choices for this morning: Randall the Crocodile-Dundee-alike cowboy, Zogby the token black guy (complete with afro), Ken the Ninja in a suit, Luc the chef and Emily the girl in an old-fashioned orange-and-black dress with wings on her back. I'll ... go with the ninja, I guess. "Behold my Ninja MAGIC!" he says.
0:08 The only difficulty class available right now is "Beaver," a one-star level. The only location available is The Pacific Northwest. Heh. Beaver.
0:09 My objective: Catch three fish. "Let's learn the basics," says a soothing female voice amidst cheesy '80s guitar music. "All you need to do to speed up is hold down the B button." Turning is controlled by Remote twisting, not the more logical analog stick on the Nunchuk, eh? The A button does a nice zippy turbo dash. I use the mini-map to dash over to a fishing "hot spot," and open up my lure selection with the d-pad. I can choose from the Countdown Magnum, Jointed Shad Rap, Tail Dancer or DT Fat SureSet. Are these lures or condoms?
0:12 I cast my line with a big over-the shoulder Remote motion, then wind the Nunchuk slowly to attract a fish. A smallish green fish sees the lure and his eyes bug out of his head by a few inches. He follows the lure as I reel in for a few feet, then bites on with a flamboyant chomp. A quick jerk to set the hook, then more Nunchuk winding to reel him in. Occasionally the Remote appears on-screen and tells me to jerk it in one direction, but I can't seem to get the timing or motion right. One more Remote-jerk to "land it." It's a small mouth bass.
0:14 "After you catch a fish, you have to bring it to the safe harbor before you can catch another one." How does that make any sense? The boat can't hold more than one fish at a time, hmmm?
0:16 Mr. Ninja somehow returns his boat to the Safe Harbor while holding his fish high above his head with both hands. Doesn't he need at least one hand on the steering wheel or something? Anyway, turning the fish I caught means "it's safe and you won't lose it if you get attacked." Attacked? Who said anything about being attacked?!
0:21 I finish out the objective by catching two more tiny smallmouth bass rather quickly. On the one hand, I like that the game removes the sitting around and waiting that characterizes real fishing. On the other hand, this seems like a mockery of a real fishing experience. Anyway, returning my third fish leads the announcer to scream "GOOOOOAL!" The ninja does a little dance and sheathes his reel like a mock sword. "Well, that sure was an exciting race. I can't wait for the next one!" says the announcer. That's funny ... I can...
0:22 "Florida Keys - Noon is unlocked!" Did that really deserve an exclamation point, game? This time I have to catch "Over 50 lbs of fish." Oh, and there are three AI opponents in the harbor with me now.
0:24 "Do you see the present that appeared on the water in front of you? What's inside? Drive over it and find out!" Why is she talking to me like it's an episode of "Blue's Clues"? "You got a Duck Missile!" That ... is not what I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting, but that wasn't it. I fire it and it skims along the water with a light quack, blowing an AI opponent sky high. So now it's Mario Kart Speed Fishing?
0:26 I find my first fish before the others can get to the spot. This time, he starts a "fish rampage" mid-reel, forcing me to make some Wii Remote twists as they're shown on the screen. I can't seem to figure out what the game wants from me with these ... sometimes I pull it off without even trying; sometimes I don't, even when trying really hard. What am I doing wrong, game? I pull it off in the end, though, netting a 14.2 lb dolphin fish. This thing is as tall as me! I can barely lift it over my head. "These are the true skills of a Ninja," I'm told.
0:28 As I return to safe harbor with my huge fish, I somehow fall into second and then third. I guess everyone else got even bigger fish, eh? Maybe I need a different lure...
0:30 Back to the hot spot. I choose a new lure and attract a fish incredibly quickly, as usual. After a lot of reeling, the new lure attracts a small, feminine-looking red fish. I set the hook and reel her in for 10 feet or so when a thin, sleek, toothy fish swims up and EATS HER WHOLE, biting my line in the process. Is ... is that a real thing that happens in fishing?
0:31 This guy's a fighter! It takes a good minute of reeling and two "fish rampages" to get him. By the end, my left elbow hurts from the repetitive circular motions. Anyway, "It's a m-m-m-m-monster catch!" A 39 lb barracuda! Whoo!
0:33 The big catch catapults me into first place as I reach safe harbor, and "GOOOOOAL! What a wonderful show!" The three AI guys on the winner's podium all look identical except for the color of their vests and hair. Wow, developers ... that's just lazy. "The Nile River - Noon" and "The Amazon River - Rainy" are now unlocked? Really? Are these rivers really prime fishing spots?
0:36 I actually manage to reel too fast when trying to attract my first Amazonian fish, who loses interest and swims off. I recast and the second fish, a 9.5 lb piranha, is easy pickings. The Ninja handles him like a live bomb. "These are the true skills of a Ninja. Banzai!" Hey, that's offensive to ninjas, pal!
0:37 Interestingly, I can't go back to safe harbor the same way I came to the hot spot. The Amazon has some narrow "one way" channels that force me to go the long way around. Oh, and while I'm turning, I crash into the shore while dashing and apparently DROP THE FISH. Are you f***ing kidding me?
0:40 Catch another similar barracuda and this time I return him to the harbor without incident. These twist-based turning controls are getting annoying ... when I twist too far the game thinks there's no twist, so you go back to straight. Guys ... there's an ANALOG STICK!
0:41 On the way back to the hot spot I collect two item boxes. Both have a trio of spiky mines that I throw out haphazardly. My opponents are on the other side of the lake anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
0:45 A bass just swam out of a wall to grab my lure. It's a 22.8 lb peacock bass, thanks for asking. I caught it in the same exact manner I've caught all the others, of course. Really, I'm already running out of stuff to say about these incredibly dull and repetitive fishing motions. At least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore, since I've gone to a more lax, wrist-based reeling motion. Also, I just unlocked the "Magnum Bonito" lure. Oh, come on, that HAS to be a condom.
0:46 I finally made out what the announcer is saying when I use my items. "Watch out, a land mine has just entered the field. If you touch it, it's gonna hurt." What am I, three years old?
0:47 Another ridiculously easy first-place finish. "All of our competitors did their best. What an exciting race." Look. Shut up. That was not exciting at all.
0:48 I'm already incredibly tired of Tournament mode. Let's see if Free Fishing is any different. I go with Emily, the winged girl this time. "You'll be happy you chose me." The last time I heard a girl deliver that line, I was at a brothel. Hey-oh!
0:50 Nope, Free Fishing on the Nile is pretty much exactly the same as the rest of the fishing. I get a 6.7 lb tilapia, then throw it back for some reason. I can't take this anymore. Fifty minutes will have to be enough.
Would I play this game for more than
an hour 50 minutes? No.
Why? I'm not an eight-year-old fishing fanatic who received this game (his first and only Wii title) for Christmas from his loving but impoverished parents, and that's the only reason I can imagine for anyone enjoying this game.
This column is based on a retail version of the game provided by the publisher.

Segmentation fault on connection (php sdk )
Hi everyone,
Im having hard time with the php sdk (php-ext-couchbase-1.1.0-dp5-ubuntu1110-x86_64) wich generate a segfault error each time I try to connect to a couchbase server.
I tried to connect to 1.8 and 2.0, same result.
Here is the libraries I have on the server:
ii libcouchbase-dev 2.0.1-387 library for the Couchbase protocol, development files ii libcouchbase2 2.0.1-387 library for the Couchbase protocol ii libcouchbase2-backend 2.0.1-387 library for the Couchbase protocol ii libcouchbase2-core 2.0.1-387 library for the Couchbase protocol, core files ii libcouchbase2-libevent 2.0.1-387 library for the Couchbase protocol (libevent backend)
I tried on debian6 and fresh ubuntu 12.04 (I tried 1004 and 1110 versions of the php extentions) and result when I execute from CLI is always:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Of course any other php code works fine.
My php code is the same as in the readme file:
<?php $cb = new Couchbase("couch.myserver.com:8091", "user", "pass", "default"); $cb->set("a", 1); var_dump($cb->get("a")); ?>
Anybody have an idea of what I am missing ?
Thank you very much !
If that can help here is what shows on my syslog
Dec 11 20:07:55 kernel: [17361055.974575] php5[4777]: segfault at 1c06000 ip 00007f46a9ff84ca sp 00007fff48631078 error 4 in libcouchbase.so.2.0.1[7f46a9fe2000+1d000]
Check back in a few minutes, or about now... the updated release is out there now.
If you can, please install libcouchbase through a repository.
Hi, can you please try with the 1.1.0 release? http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/current
Hi guys,
Thanks for you reply, I tried the latest version and now the sample code works :)
Now lets see if my code is running fine.
I am still encountering this segmentation error, Even after the update, is there any method to solve this?
Could you describe your system? OS, php version, libcouchbase version and php couchbase version?
My setup is:
Ubuntu server 11.10 64-bit version
Php version 5.3.6
Couchbase Server version 2.0
libcouchbase version 2
I tried updating my libcouchbase and found it was up to date. Still having problems with segmentation and I think it has something to do with my libcouchbase. Is there a way to remove/purge the libcouchbase and reinstall it?
Can you please do a "cbc version" to show us wich lcb you are using?
I have already resolved the problem, I was using a developer preview for my couchbase extension which was 1.1.1-dp5. I replaced it with a 1.1.2 version and now I am running a test just to make sure.
Okay good, definitely let us know if you need further help!
