I've got a serious question for Scot 'with one t' Haney here. Why is the name of Christ would you ever, EVER, admit to this and then tweet it out later? Got to be one of those 'no publicity is bad publicity' things? Because I'll tell you this much, when you're trying to be cute on the air and eat Grape Nuts off the floor and then realize it's actually cat puke, you keep that information with you until you die. That's day 1 stuff in the cat-puke eating community. So with that in mind and with Haney's blatant dismissal of the cat puke-eating rules, I have to think this is him thinking he's going to get a big break. Just sitting at his one bedroom apartment with his cat one day trying to think of ways to make it big. Sees a mess of cat puke on the floor and thinks to himself, 'Scot, it's 2013, you've got to do something to differentiate yourself form other anchors....what could I do....ah ha! I'll eat some cat puke on the air!' Well you may have fooled the rest of the internet but not me. Enjoy your 15 minutes of internet fame you weirdo. You'll never be Grape Lady .
And on the off chance that this was an honest mistake, I'll tell you where Scot went wrong. Not by eating random crap off the ground like a barbarian. I do that all the time. But it was in owning a cat period*. Cue the Swanson.
*Just kidding cat owners. Cat's are great. We have fun here.
PS: There's a strong chance that that really was Grape Nuts anyway. Anytime I eat Grape Nuts I think 'this must be what cat puke tastes like. Grape Nuts suck.

We stumbled into a Star Wars Weekend at Disney Hollywood Studios during our visit to Disney World on Memorial Day weekend, and it was awesome! Our 6-year-old son was in absolute heaven and our 8-year-old daughter spent much of her time hiding from Darth Maul, who I have to say was super creepy!
Chewbacca, R2-D2, Darth Vader were all walking around the park! Storm Troopers marched everywhere! All the Bounty Hunters were skulking about and that Darth Maul kept popping up! Poor Rose!
They had a Star Wars parade around lunch time. We missed it because we were in The Little Mermaid puppet show. Michael was really bummed out! But he found footage of the parade on You Tube, so that video is on top. (This one is even longer than mine!)
They have a Jedi Training Academy, that I actually think they do year-round, where they choose little guys and girls from the audience to come up and learn how to be Jedis. They put them in little Jedi robes, give them light sabers and then teach them some moves. And then the big surprise – Darth Vader comes out to fight them! After a speech from Darth Vader about joining the Dark Side, Darth Maul runs out also to fight. The video of the kids fighting Vader and Darth Maul coming out is above. (If you listen closely you can hear me exclaim every time Darth Maul passes. Also you can hear me cheering on the little Padawans.)
They pick about 25 kids to participate so you want to get there about 30 minutes before the show starts to get a spot up front. Walsh did not get chosen, and he was crushed! Michael should have yelled for the guy but he didn't! Also if you come already dressed in character it seems to increase your chances to be chosen!
They had actors from the Star Wars movies and cartoons there signing autographs and answering questions from fans.
It looks like from the Web site they only do them four weekends a year – May 22 to June 14. And if you have a grade-school son like we do (or a daughter who is a fan), it is well worth planning your trip around those dates. (Please confirm with Disney the dates for 2010.) I think Michael and I enjoyed it as much as the kids did.
What do you think? Would your kids love the Star Wars Weekends? Would you?

I have never gotten into Star Wars. I've seen the first three movies, but I really don't care for them. I'm just not a fan. I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't care for Star Wars……..my friends think I'm crazy… I'm not into Science Fiction either…..
Ya'll play nice today. It's friday!!!!

…I refused to see the original Star Wars back in 1977 (and Saturday Night Fever, too; in fact I still have never seen the entire Saturday Night Fever movie, nor Stayin' Alive, either); I did see all three of the original Star Wars movies AFTER my kids were old enough to see them (back in about 1995).

My family would have loved a Star Wars weekend! We're huge fans, and I have been ever since I saw the first Star Wars, under duress, in '77. My husband (then boyfriend), a big science fiction fan, insisted that we had to go to this new movie,"Star Wars" and I wanted to see "Smokey and the Bandit", which had come out the week before. So I gave in with not-very-good-grace, and groused about being at the back off the line ("A line?! For a stupid sci-fi movie?!") and of course we ended up on the neck-cricking front row. But 10 minutes into the movie, I was totally entranced, and no matter how many times I have seen it since (a lot!), those opening sequences still raise goosebumps!
So while we may not plan a trip around a Star Wars theme, we would have definitely enjoyed the break from mice with squeaky voices!

I don't have kids, but my hubby would love the Star Wars weekend. He is a huge Star Wars fan. I think I would enjoy it, too.

I did enjoy the Star Wars Movies, some more than others. I know my husband would like the Star Wars Weekend, but he is really too much of a homebody to want to travel just to see it. And we always have way too much stuff to do around the property, the rental property we have very little free time.

I also love the Star Wars weekends. The Jedi Training Academy is awesome. They do Jedi Training all summer, but yes the "stars" only come out for a limited time. While it is really cool, though, I wouldn't go so far as to say plan your whole vacation around it. I mean, if your kids is a die hard Star Wars fan, then maybe, but chances are it's you who is the real fan.
Besides, Star Wars isn't even "The Thing" to do at Hollywood Studios. The thing you don't want to miss is the Toy Story Mania ride, and maybe the new American Idol experience.

My family has been to two Star Wars weekends. The first time we planned our trip and then realized that it would be going on while we were there. The whole family loved it. I am not really a fan, but my husband is a huge fan, and he has passed it down to our girls. The second time, we planned it specifically for one of those dates. It gets crowded, but it really is a lot of fun. The characters are great. It is fun to hear the Star Wars music during the parade, and see Darth Maul scaring the little ones. It is also neat to see all of the "Stormtroopers" who buy their own costumes. Some of them are pretty old or disabled, but they are still parading and dressing up. More cool than it sounds.

I have always been a SW fan….we decided not long ago (on this board, confirmed by Theresa) that I am a sci-fi chick. I have been on the SW ride at (then) MGM ….I loved it! Alas, no Wookies in sight that day. I have however met Peter Mayhew and have a lifesize autographed standee in a closet.
The only thing I did not like at Hollywood Studios–ok 2 things—Tower of Terror and Mom's Diner where you get the worst service in the park.
Best things at Hollywood–the Backstage tour and meeting the characters.
I love the Aztec temple at Epcot–best Margaritas on the planet. Best things at Epcot–the guys over at the Moracan vista! The fountain in the Italian area, and Test Track.
Best of Magic Kingdom — Cindy's castle to dine and have a great view, being a kid again,. the Splash and Big Thunder Mountains, the Haunted Mansion (there is always room for one more).
Best fireworks are on the boardwalk while eating ice cream.

Teresa, who enjoyed it more, hubby or the kids?
Not into SW myself. I liked the first one that came out, and tolerated the second one.
I went to DL when I was 11 and to DW when I was about 36 and 40. Okay to both. I don't think it would be financially worth it to me unless the children were of the age to enjoy and appreciate. Luckily when I took my kids the whole thing was nearly free (I think I spent 45 dollars in all the first time. Stayed at a friend's place, and her mother worked there so we got free passes and most of the food was free). First time we stayed off property, and other than the parking hassle it was great. Not crowded at all–we stayed all day! The second time I was presenting at a national conference on site and that was great, too, as my university paid my way so all I had to do was take care of the children's expenses. My elder daughter shepherded her siblings around while I was conferencing. Sort of funny–the second time we were given a room that already had folks in it. I used the card key and here was this nekkid family in the room, who had just come back from the pool. We were all very surprised.
I cannot imagine going there under normal circumstances, however, until the grandkids were old enough to enjoy and remember, and maybe not even then.

WGETSection: GNU Wget (1)
Updated: 2004-08-27
WGETSection: GNU Wget (1)
Updated: 2004-08-27
Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background, while the user is not logged on. This allows you to start a retrieval and disconnect from the system, letting Wget finish the work. By contrast, most of the Web browsers require constant user's presence, which can be a great hindrance when transferring a lot of data.
Wget can follow links in HTML and XHTML pages and create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as ``recursive downloading.'' While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (/robots.txt). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing.
Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved. If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the download from where it left off.
However, if you specify --force-html, the document will be regarded as html. In that case you may have problems with relative links, which you can solve either by adding "<base href="url">" to the documents or by specifying --base=url on the command line.
When running Wget without -N, -nc, or -r, downloading the same file in the same directory will result in the original copy of file being preserved and the second copy being named file.1. If that file is downloaded yet again, the third copy will be named file.2, and so on. When -nc is specified, this behavior is suppressed, and Wget will refuse to download newer copies of file. Therefore, ``"no-clobber"'' is actually a misnomer in this mode---it's not clobbering that's prevented (as the numeric suffixes were already preventing clobbering), but rather the multiple version saving that's prevented.
When running Wget with -r, but without -N or -nc, re-downloading a file will result in the new copy simply overwriting the old. Adding -nc will prevent this behavior, instead causing the original version to be preserved and any newer copies on the server to be ignored.
When running Wget with -N, with or without -r, the decision as to whether or not to download a newer copy of a file depends on the local and remote timestamp and size of the file. -nc may not be specified at the same time as -N.
Note that when -nc is specified, files with the suffixes .html or .htm will be loaded from the local disk and parsed as if they had been retrieved from the Web.
wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z
If there is a file named ls-lR.Z in the current directory, Wget will assume that it is the first portion of the remote file, and will ask the server to continue the retrieval from an offset equal to the length of the local file.
Note that you don't need to specify this option if you just want the current invocation of Wget to retry downloading a file should the connection be lost midway through. This is the default behavior. -c only affects resumption of downloads started prior to this invocation of Wget, and whose local files are still sitting around.
Without -c, the previous example would just download the remote file to ls-lR.Z.1, leaving the truncated ls-lR.Z file alone.
Beginning with Wget 1.7, if you use -c on a non-empty file, and it turns out that the server does not support continued downloading, Wget will refuse to start the download from scratch, which would effectively ruin existing contents. If you really want the download to start from scratch, remove the file.
Also beginning with Wget 1.7, if you use -c on a file which is of equal size as the one on the server, Wget will refuse to download the file and print an explanatory message. The same happens when the file is smaller on the server than locally (presumably because it was changed on the server since your last download attempt)---because ``continuing'' is not meaningful, no download occurs.
On the other side of the coin, while using -c, any file that's bigger on the server than locally will be considered an incomplete download and only "(length(remote) - length(local))" bytes will be downloaded and tacked onto the end of the local file. This behavior can be desirable in certain cases---for instance, you can use wget -c to download just the new portion that's been appended to a data collection or log file.
However, if the file is bigger on the server because it's been changed, as opposed to just appended to, you'll end up with a garbled file. Wget has no way of verifying that the local file is really a valid prefix of the remote file. You need to be especially careful of this when using -c in conjunction with -r, since every file will be considered as an ``incomplete download'' candidate.
Another instance where you'll get a garbled file if you try to use -c is if you have a lame HTTP proxy that inserts a ``transfer interrupted'' string into the local file. In the future a ``rollback'' option may be added to deal with this case.
Note that -c only works with FTP servers and with HTTP servers that support the "Range" header.
The ``bar'' indicator is used by default. It draws an ASCII progress bar graphics (a.k.a ``thermometer'' display) indicating the status of retrieval. If the output is not a TTY, the ``dot'' bar will be used by default.
Use --progress=dot to switch to the ``dot'' display. It traces the retrieval by printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a fixed amount of downloaded data.
When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the style by specifying the type as dot:style. Different styles assign different meaning to one dot. With the "default" style each dot represents 1K, there are ten dots in a cluster and 50 dots in a line. The "binary" style has a more ``computer''-like orientation---8K dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots per line (which makes for 384K lines). The "mega" style is suitable for downloading very large files---each dot represents 64K retrieved, there are eight dots in a cluster, and 48 dots on each line (so each line contains 3M).
Note that you can set the default style using the "progress" command in .wgetrc. That setting may be overridden from the command line. The exception is that, when the output is not a TTY, the ``dot'' progress will be favored over ``bar''. To force the bar output, use --progress=bar:force.
wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html
This feature needs much more work for Wget to get close to the functionality of real web spiders.
Whenever Wget connects to or reads from a remote host, it checks for a timeout and aborts the operation if the time expires. This prevents anomalous occurrences such as hanging reads or infinite connects. The only timeout enabled by default is a 900-second timeout for reading. Setting timeout to 0 disables checking for timeouts.
Unless you know what you are doing, it is best not to set any of the timeout-related options.
Note that Wget implements the limiting by sleeping the appropriate amount of time after a network read that took less time than specified by the rate. Eventually this strategy causes the TCP transfer to slow down to approximately the specified rate. However, it may take some time for this balance to be achieved, so don't be surprised if limiting the rate doesn't work well with very small files.
Specifying a large value for this option is useful if the network or the destination host is down, so that Wget can wait long enough to reasonably expect the network error to be fixed before the retry.
Note that this option is turned on by default in the global wgetrc file.
A recent article in a publication devoted to development on a popular consumer platform provided code to perform this analysis on the fly. Its author suggested blocking at the class C address level to ensure automated retrieval programs were blocked despite changing DHCP-supplied addresses.
The --random-wait option was inspired by this ill-advised recommendation to block many unrelated users from a web site due to the actions of one.
For more information about the use of proxies with Wget,
Note that quota will never affect downloading a single file. So if you specify wget -Q10k ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/ls-lR.gz, all of the ls-lR.gz will be downloaded. The same goes even when several URLs are specified on the command-line. However, quota is respected when retrieving either recursively, or from an input file. Thus you may safely type wget -Q2m -i sites---download will be aborted when the quota is exceeded.
Setting quota to 0 or to inf unlimits the download quota.
However, in some cases it is not desirable to cache host names, even for the duration of a short-running application like Wget. For example, some HTTP servers are hosted on machines with dynamically allocated IP addresses that change from time to time. Their DNS entries are updated along with each change. When Wget's download from such a host gets interrupted by IP address change, Wget retries the download, but (due to DNS caching) it contacts the old address. With the DNS cache turned off, Wget will repeat the DNS lookup for every connect and will thus get the correct dynamic address every time---at the cost of additional DNS lookups where they're probably not needed.
If you don't understand the above description, you probably won't need this option.
By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid as part of file names on your operating system, as well as control characters that are typically unprintable. This option is useful for changing these defaults, either because you are downloading to a non-native partition, or because you want to disable escaping of the control characters.
When mode is set to ``unix'', Wget escapes the character / and the control characters in the ranges 0--31 and 128--159. This is the default on Unix-like OS'es.
When mode is set to ``windows'', Wget escapes the characters \, |, /, :, ?, ", *, <, >, and the control characters in the ranges 0--31 and 128--159. In addition to this, Wget in Windows mode uses + instead of : to separate host and port in local file names, and uses @ instead of ? to separate the query portion of the file name from the rest. Therefore, a URL that would be saved as www.xemacs.org:4300/search.pl?input=blah in Unix mode would be saved as www.xemacs.org+4300/search.pl@input=blah in Windows mode. This mode is the default on Windows.
If you append ,nocontrol to the mode, as in unix,nocontrol, escaping of the control characters is also switched off. You can use --restrict-file-names=nocontrol to turn off escaping of control characters without affecting the choice of the OS to use as file name restriction mode.
Disable generation of host-prefixed directories. By default, invoking Wget with -r http://fly.srk.fer.hr/ will create a structure of directories beginning with fly.srk.fer.hr/. This option disables such behavior.
Take, for example, the directory at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/. If you retrieve it with -r, it will be saved locally under ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/. While the -nH option can remove the ftp.xemacs.org/ part, you are still stuck with pub/xemacs. This is where --cut-dirs comes in handy; it makes Wget not ``see'' number remote directory components. Here are several examples of how --cut-dirs option works.
No options -> ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/ -nH -> pub/xemacs/ -nH --cut-dirs=1 -> xemacs/ -nH --cut-dirs=2 -> .
--cut-dirs=1 -> ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/ ...
If you just want to get rid of the directory structure, this option is similar to a combination of -nd and -P. However, unlike -nd, --cut-dirs does not lose with subdirectories---for instance, with -nH --cut-dirs=1, a beta/ subdirectory will be placed to xemacs/beta, as one would expect.
Note that filenames changed in this way will be re-downloaded every time you re-mirror a site, because Wget can't tell that the local X.html file corresponds to remote URL X (since it doesn't yet know that the URL produces output of type text/html or application/xhtml+xml. To prevent this re-downloading, you must use -k and -K so that the original version of the file will be saved as X.orig.
Another way to specify username and password is in the URL itself. Either method reveals your password to anyone who bothers to run "ps". To prevent the passwords from being seen, store them in .wgetrc or .netrc, and make sure to protect those files from other users with "chmod". If the passwords are really important, do not leave them lying in those files either---edit the files and delete them after Wget has started the download.
For more information about security issues with Wget,
Caching is allowed by default.
You will typically use this option when mirroring sites that require that you be logged in to access some or all of their content. The login process typically works by the web server issuing an HTTP cookie upon receiving and verifying your credentials. The cookie is then resent by the browser when accessing that part of the site, and so proves your identity.
Mirroring such a site requires Wget to send the same cookies your browser sends when communicating with the site. This is achieved by --load-cookies---simply point Wget to the location of the cookies.txt file, and it will send the same cookies your browser would send in the same situation. Different browsers keep textual cookie files in different locations:
If you cannot use --load-cookies, there might still be an alternative. If your browser supports a ``cookie manager'', you can use it to view the cookies used when accessing the site you're mirroring. Write down the name and value of the cookie, and manually instruct Wget to send those cookies, bypassing the ``official'' cookie support:
wget --cookies=off --header "Cookie: <name>=<value>"
Since the cookie file format does not normally carry session cookies, Wget marks them with an expiry timestamp of 0. Wget's --load-cookies recognizes those as session cookies, but it might confuse other browsers. Also note that cookies so loaded will be treated as other session cookies, which means that if you want --save-cookies to preserve them again, you must use --keep-session-cookies again.
With this option, Wget will ignore the "Content-Length" header---as if it never existed.
You may define more than one additional header by specifying --header more than once.
wget --header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2' \ --header='Accept-Language: hr' \ http://fly.srk.fer.hr/
Specification of an empty string as the header value will clear all previous user-defined headers.
Security considerations similar to those with --http-passwd pertain here as well.
The HTTP protocol allows the clients to identify themselves using a "User-Agent" header field. This enables distinguishing the WWW software, usually for statistical purposes or for tracing of protocol violations. Wget normally identifies as Wget/version, version being the current version number of Wget.
However, some sites have been known to impose the policy of tailoring the output according to the "User-Agent"-supplied information. While conceptually this is not such a bad idea, it has been abused by servers denying information to clients other than "Mozilla" or Microsoft "Internet Explorer". This option allows you to change the "User-Agent" line issued by Wget. Use of this option is discouraged, unless you really know what you are doing.
Please be aware that Wget needs to know the size of the POST data in advance. Therefore the argument to "--post-file" must be a regular file; specifying a FIFO or something like /dev/stdin won't work. It's not quite clear how to work around this limitation inherent in HTTP/1.0. Although HTTP/1.1 introduces chunked transfer that doesn't require knowing the request length in advance, a client can't use chunked unless it knows it's talking to an HTTP/1.1 server. And it can't know that until it receives a response, which in turn requires the request to have been completed --- a chicken-and-egg problem.
Note: if Wget is redirected after the POST request is completed, it will not send the POST data to the redirected URL. This is because URLs that process POST often respond with a redirection to a regular page (although that's technically disallowed), which does not desire or accept POST. It is not yet clear that this behavior is optimal; if it doesn't work out, it will be changed.
This example shows how to log to a server using POST and then proceed to download the desired pages, presumably only accessible to authorized users:
# Log in to the server. This can be done only once. wget --save-cookies cookies.txt \ --post-data 'user=foo&password=bar' \ http://server.com/auth.php
# Now grab the page or pages we care about. wget --load-cookies cookies.txt \ -p http://server.com/interesting/article.php
Note that even though Wget writes to a known filename for this file, this is not a security hole in the scenario of a user making .listing a symbolic link to /etc/passwd or something and asking "root" to run Wget in his or her directory. Depending on the options used, either Wget will refuse to write to .listing, making the globbing/recursion/time-stamping operation fail, or the symbolic link will be deleted and replaced with the actual .listing file, or the listing will be written to a .listing.number file.
Even though this situation isn't a problem, though, "root" should never run Wget in a non-trusted user's directory. A user could do something as simple as linking index.html to /etc/passwd and asking "root" to run Wget with -N or -r so the file will be overwritten.
wget ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/*.msg
By default, globbing will be turned on if the URL contains a globbing character. This option may be used to turn globbing on or off permanently.
You may have to quote the URL to protect it from being expanded by your shell. Globbing makes Wget look for a directory listing, which is system-specific. This is why it currently works only with Unix FTP servers (and the ones emulating Unix "ls" output).
When --retr-symlinks is specified, however, symbolic links are traversed and the pointed-to files are retrieved. At this time, this option does not cause Wget to traverse symlinks to directories and recurse through them, but in the future it should be enhanced to do this.
Note that when retrieving a file (not a directory) because it was specified on the command-line, rather than because it was recursed to, this option has no effect. Symbolic links are always traversed in this case.
This option is useful when, for some reason, persistent (keep-alive) connections don't work for you, for example due to a server bug or due to the inability of server-side scripts to cope with the connections.
wget -r -nd --delete-after http://whatever.com/~popular/page/
The -r option is to retrieve recursively, and -nd to not create directories.
Note that --delete-after deletes files on the local machine. It does not issue the DELE command to remote FTP sites, for instance. Also note that when --delete-after is specified, --convert-links is ignored, so .orig files are simply not created in the first place.
Each link will be changed in one of the two ways:
Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to /bar/img.gif, also downloaded, then the link in doc.html will be modified to point to ../bar/img.gif. This kind of transformation works reliably for arbitrary combinations of directories.
Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to /bar/img.gif (or to ../bar/img.gif), then the link in doc.html will be modified to point to http://hostname/bar/img.gif.
Because of this, local browsing works reliably: if a linked file was downloaded, the link will refer to its local name; if it was not downloaded, the link will refer to its full Internet address rather than presenting a broken link. The fact that the former links are converted to relative links ensures that you can move the downloaded hierarchy to another directory.
Note that only at the end of the download can Wget know which links have been downloaded. Because of that, the work done by -k will be performed at the end of all the downloads.
Ordinarily, when downloading a single HTML page, any requisite documents that may be needed to display it properly are not downloaded. Using -r together with -l can help, but since Wget does not ordinarily distinguish between external and inlined documents, one is generally left with ``leaf documents'' that are missing their requisites.
For instance, say document 1.html contains an "<IMG>" tag referencing 1.gif and an "<A>" tag pointing to external document 2.html. Say that 2.html is similar but that its image is 2.gif and it links to 3.html. Say this continues up to some arbitrarily high number.
If one executes the command:
wget -r -l 2 http://<site>/1.html
then 1.html, 1.gif, 2.html, 2.gif, and 3.html will be downloaded. As you can see, 3.html is without its requisite 3.gif because Wget is simply counting the number of hops (up to 2) away from 1.html in order to determine where to stop the recursion. However, with this command:
wget -r -l 2 -p http://<site>/1.html
all the above files and 3.html's requisite 3.gif will be downloaded. Similarly,
wget -r -l 1 -p http://<site>/1.html
will cause 1.html, 1.gif, 2.html, and 2.gif to be downloaded. One might think that:
wget -r -l 0 -p http://<site>/1.html
would download just 1.html and 1.gif, but unfortunately this is not the case, because -l 0 is equivalent to -l inf---that is, infinite recursion. To download a single HTML page (or a handful of them, all specified on the command-line or in a -i URL input file) and its (or their) requisites, simply leave off -r and -l:
wget -p http://<site>/1.html
Note that Wget will behave as if -r had been specified, but only that single page and its requisites will be downloaded. Links from that page to external documents will not be followed. Actually, to download a single page and all its requisites (even if they exist on separate websites), and make sure the lot displays properly locally, this author likes to use a few options in addition to -p:
wget -E -H -k -K -p http://<site>/<document>
To finish off this topic, it's worth knowing that Wget's idea of an external document link is any URL specified in an "<A>" tag, an "<AREA>" tag, or a "<LINK>" tag other than "<LINK REL="stylesheet">".
According to specifications, HTML comments are expressed as SGML declarations. Declaration is special markup that begins with <! and ends with >, such as <!DOCTYPE ...>, that may contain comments between a pair of -- delimiters. HTML comments are ``empty declarations'', SGML declarations without any non-comment text. Therefore, <!--foo---> is a valid comment, and so is <!--one--- --two--->, but <!--1--2--> is not.
On the other hand, most HTML writers don't perceive comments as anything other than text delimited with <!-- and -->, which is not quite the same. For example, something like <!------------> works as a valid comment as long as the number of dashes is a multiple of four (!). If not, the comment technically lasts until the next --, which may be at the other end of the document. Because of this, many popular browsers completely ignore the specification and implement what users have come to expect: comments delimited with <!-- and -->.
Until version 1.9, Wget interpreted comments strictly, which resulted in missing links in many web pages that displayed fine in browsers, but had the misfortune of containing non-compliant comments. Beginning with version 1.9, Wget has joined the ranks of clients that implements ``naive'' comments, terminating each comment at the first occurrence of -->.
If, for whatever reason, you want strict comment parsing, use this option to turn it on.
In the past, this option was the best bet for downloading a single page and its requisites, using a command-line like:
wget --ignore-tags=a,area -H -k -K -r http://<site>/<document>
However, the author of this option came across a page with tags like "<LINK REL="home" HREF="/">" and came to the realization that specifying tags to ignore was not enough. One can't just tell Wget to ignore "<LINK>", because then stylesheets will not be downloaded. Now the best bet for downloading a single page and its requisites is the dedicated --page-requisites option.
Before actually submitting a bug report, please try to follow a few simple guidelines.
Also, while I will probably be interested to know the contents of your .wgetrc file, just dumping it into the debug message is probably a bad idea. Instead, you should first try to see if the bug repeats with .wgetrc moved out of the way. Only if it turns out that .wgetrc settings affect the bug, mail me the relevant parts of the file.

Girls earn redemption against White River
Published on Wed, Jan 2, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
Several of the starters on this year's Borderites girls' basketball team were playing in the game last March when White River knocked Blaine out of the Class 2A quarterfinals, ending a promising state tournament run for the Borderites.
But over Christmas break, the girls earned redemption against their former rivals. In their second of two games at the Cloud 9 Sports Lynden Christian Christmas Classic, Blaine moved past last year's defeat with a resounding 54-51 victory over top-ranked 2A White River on December 28.
"They really wanted to get them back," coach Ryan Pike said. "The girls really seem to step up to the big games."
The Borderites played with tact and aggression on defense, out-rebounding the taller team 34-26, and executing 10 steals. Blaine played man-to-man defense the entire game, a departure from their usual zone defense strategy.
"We challenged the girls to play man-to-man, and they wanted to do it," Pike said. "They were asking, 'Hey, can I cover this girl?' and I was like, 'If you ask for it, you better do a good job,' and all the girls really stepped up to the challenge."
Offensively, passing and sharing the ball to create opportunities led to a truly team-wide scoring effort.
All five starters put points on the board for Blaine, with sophomore Taylor V'Dovec scoring 11, junior Alexis McElwain nine, junior Olivia Olason seven, and sophomore Breanna Chau four.
Junior Rhianna Breedlove contributed four valuable points coming off the bench.
Sophomore Mandy Hayes played a leadership role in the victory against White River both offensively and defensively, Pike said. Hayes held White River's leading scorer Kennedy Hobert to 14 points and scored a team high 19 points.
Blaine gained the lead in the second quarter and never looked back, leading 42-29 at the start of the fourth quarter. The number one ranked White River team didn't lay down and came back to within three points by the final buzzer, but Blaine held on with a strong team effort and balanced scoring.
"I love how we played," Pike said. "It was an unbelievable team effort that we put together."
"They played like they can," he continued, "and that's what I've been waiting for all season. It was the first time, I think, where we played a full 32 minutes of good basketball in every respect. That's what it takes to beat the good teams, and that's what they did."
With three weeks left in the regular season, and after starting conference play 0-2, Pike said he hopes to snowball the victory against White River into more wins moving forward.
The Borderites lost their other game in the tournament against Cascade Christian 47-40, December 27. Cascade Christian won with solid outside shooting, scoring 27 of 47 points off of three-pointers.
"They got us with their three-pointers," Pike said, "but it was a good game, and we'll see them again in the tri-district tournament."
Neither of the Christmas tournament games counted toward conference standings, but a victory against Anacortes on December 21 brings the girls' Northwest Conference record to 1-2.
Sophomore Taylor V'Dovec scored 14 of 24 field goal attempts for a team-high 31 points, leading her team to a 58-48 victory over Anacortes.

The National Hockey League's Board of Governors unanimously approved a rule prohibiting hits on an unsuspecting player where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact.
The league's 30 general managers proposed the rule earlier this month. It was intended to be implemented next season, but a series of recent incidents - Bruins star Marc Savard having his season ended and Blackhawks' Brent Seabrook getting crushed by Anaheim's Wisniewski - prompted the league to look at fast-tracking the process.
However, a spokesman for the NHL Players' Association said a rule hadn't been submitted by the competition committee - as per the process outlined in the collective bargaining agreement.
"Under the CBA, the league's proposal cannot take effect until it first receives the support of the joint NHLPA/NHL competition committee, and then is endorsed by the NHL board of governors," said spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon. "To date, the competition committee has neither agreed on a proposal, nor forwarded a proposal to the board of governors for its vote. "
According to Weatherdon, the NHLPA's competition committee members are finalizing their response to the NHL's proposal and will be responding back to the league this week.
The NHL is awaiting the competition committee's response to the proposal, however as early as Wednesday night, every NHL team (players, coaches, managers) and on-ice official will have seen a DVD detailing the new rule and will be made aware of the proposed policy change on the blindside head shot.
As reported earlier, there is no desire to institute a specific rule change at this time that carries a minor and/or major penalty. The intent is to get approval to permit supplementary discipline this season to punish those types of hits.
While any rule change requires approval of the competition committee, the NHL, if it were inclined, could unilaterally impose the policy. Obviously that would cause hard feelings with the Players' Association but in the short term the only recourse would be for the Players' Association to file a grievance with an independent arbitrator. Grievances are not likely to be heard for quite some time.
So if the NHL were to follow that route, it could enact the new policy/rule as early as Wednesday night.
"Our Board can enact rule changes at any time with or without Competition Committee approval," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in response to the NHLPA statement. "To the extent the Competition Committee has approved the rule change in advance, it is entirely insulated from PA challenge. To the extent it is not a Competition Committee-approved rule, the PA is free to challenge under whatever "theory" they may have available to it. We have been attempting to work through the PA and the Competition Committee for 10 days now on what the League considers to be a very important issue. To the extent we do not receive NHLPA or Competition Committee sign-off or approval, we will consider all available options and make a decision in the best interests of the League and the players."
The NHL said it is awaiting the Players' Association's response and want to see what counter proposal they are suggesting. The fact the NHL took it to the board of governors before getting competition committee approval suggests it's possible the league could impose it. It remains to be seen.

(CNN) -- Schoolgirl and activist Malala Yousufzai is challenging the education system in Pakistan. After she was shot by the Taliban she became a key figure in the movement to improve education in Pakistan, particularly for girls.
According to UNESCO, more than three million girls are out of school in Pakistan, while spending on education has decreased to 2.3 percent of GDP in 2010. UNESCO also says for every 10 boys there are only eight girls in class and that poorest girls are most disadvantaged.

A reclusive, emotionless scientist seeks solace at a mysterious country estate where he hopes to finish some important work in peace and quiet. At first the house seems the perfect setting, with its sprawling grounds, huge rooms, and garden maze. But soon the scientist comes to discover that the manor is haunted by a mysterious spirit who is seeking him out for a special purpose. This episode sets the mood of the story excellently and carries the characters and plot through to an interesting finish. Genre: Supernatural

A monkish scientist purchases a remote estate to carry out his studies in seclusion. The house and the grounds are haunted by a seductive --- and predatory spirit.
Daniel Breakwood, 2012-12-16 20:08:51
My copy has a lot of digital glitching but is listenable. A mathemetician with stunted emotional development takes an isolated house in the country. The house, Mare's Nest (Or maybe Mayer's Nest), is still haunted, not by a ghost but by a vampire. The details of this particular brand of vampirism are interesting and the use of a droning buzz like some giant insect for the nightmares of vampire flight are good. Mildly chilling and generally quite good.

A confirmed intellect and bachelor wishes to retreat to a life of solitude and quiet and so purchases an estate in the middle of nowhere. Believing he has found his nirvana, he inquires of the housekeeper the history of the estate. She tells him a tale of frustrated love, gypsy curses, and a crypt in the middle of a maze on the grounds in which lay…

First time I heard this episode was on Halloween Night some time in the early 90's when WHAM in Rochester, N.Y. briefly re-ran the series for about a year. Very apropos. This episode creates a fantastic atmosphere. You really feel the sense of isolation our protaganists are experiencing. And the eerie, gothic, romantic interludes between John and Stella have a similar feel to some of the scenes in Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula". The scenes of flying are well done (And we all know what you're really dreaming about when you dream you're flying). Gordon Gould turns in a great performance. His character is deeply flawed, but completely sympathetic. You find yourself rooting for him to finally find true love. Very powerful and jarring conclusion. This episode makes a great "triple feature" with RMT's "Dracula" and Carmilla". One of the Tops!
Tate, 2013-01-30 10:05:37
RMT only featured vampires a few times, if I recall correctly. "Carmilla" stands out as perhaps my favorite RMT. "Nightmare's Nest" is almost as good. The show is very spooky and the jarring ending is very well done. The vampire is portrayed in a sympathetic light, given the fact that she was actually a victim who in turn victimizes another poor soul. The sound effects employed when the two characters are flying were effective. The back story involving the Gypsy was absorbing; there was no padding in this show, it was entertaining and suspenseful throughout. The two creepiest parts: the curse levied by the dying Gypsy (I would love a translation) and the description of the dead man at the end. "Nightmare's Nest" packs a punch; a great show to listen to with the lights out. If you haven't already listened to it, what are you waiting for?
Jerwin Mostar, 2013-01-30 10:05:38
Several very interesting things about this show and broadcast:
- The Gypsy guy (who was, frankly, a very sleazy, slimy character) was named "Gitano" (derivative of a Spanish work Egiptiano or "egyptian" as the Spaniards like others thought the gypsies to be of Egyptian descent). Note how "gypsies" aren't necessarily bad...just gypsy magic (pretty much like any other magic on the RMT was shown as having satanic origins).
- I don't know what he was saying in his "curse" but how often in today's half-thought-out screenplays does one ever hear the Romany language spoken? The RMT was SO cool.
- Speaking of "cool", listen to the public service announcement with the jazz music playing while Mike "Mannix" Connors talks about gun safety in the commercial break right after the second act. I'm not one to pine for the past that much as I'd much rather live in the future, but they truly don't make radio commercials like that one anymore...
- Gordon Gould was frequently a "second banana" character, frequently a scientist. This show was his tour de force.
- Though the RMT usually had a strong Christian worldview there occasionally was a show with a well-intentioned yet alway-twenty-steps-too-late priest like Ian Martin's character here. In fact, Martin seemed to directly reprise that character in another RMT. Maybe someone here remembers its title (I don't), but in that show Martin, while someone was choosing to let his soul slip away to the pit, as a priest was standing there saying he was feeling "Something was left unsaid."
- The sound effect during the "kissing" scene was indeed well done and unique.
- I think I liked "Carmilla" better because there was a sense of closure on that show, but this one was fascinating nonetheless.
- Finally, speaking of "not making 'em like that anymore", I think this broadcast may have aired on Dallas/Fort Worth area radio. One of the first commercials was for "Kip's Big Boy" (restaurant)...cheers!
K. Moll, 2013-03-03 15:31:07
Atmospheric, moody, interesting, and overall very well done. I think this one has risen to the top as one of my favorites!

Paget's disease of the bone
Paget's disease is a disorder that involves abnormal bone destruction and regrowth, which results in deformity.
Alternative Names
Osteitis deformans
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cause of Paget's disease is unknown, although it might have to do with genes or a viral infection early in life.
The disease occurs worldwide, but is more common in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
In people with Paget's disease, there is an abnormal breakdown of bone tissue, followed by abnormal bone formation. The new bone is bigger, but weakened and filled with new blood vessels.
The disease may only be in one or two areas of the skeleton, or throughout the body. It often involves bones of the:
- Arm
- Collar
- Leg
- Pelvis
- Spine
- Bone pain (may be severe and persistent)
- Bowing of the legs and other visible deformities
- Enlarged head
- Fracture
- Headache
- Hearing loss
- Joint pain or stiffness
- Neck pain
- Reduced height
- Skull deformities
- Warmth of skin over the affected bone
Note: Most patients have no symptoms.
Signs and tests
Tests that may indicate Paget's disease include:
- Bone scan
- Bone x-ray
- Elevated markers of bone breakdown (for instance, N-telopeptide)
- Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Not all patients need treatment. For example, patients who have abnormal blood tests only may not need treatment.
People with Paget's disease who are commonly treated include:
- Patients with deformities
- Patients with no symptoms when certain bones (such as weight-bearing bones) are involved, especially if the bony changes are progressing quickly, to reduce the risk of fractures
- Patients with symptoms
Drug therapy helps prevent further bone breakdown. Currently, there are several classes of medications used to treat Paget's disease. These include:
- Bisphosphonates -- These drugs are the first-line treatment, and they help increase bone density. Types of bisphosphonates include:
- Alendronate (Fosamax)
- Etidronate (Didronel)
- Pamidronate (Aredia)
- Risedronate (Actonel)
- Tiludronate (Skelid)
- Zoledronic acid (Zometa)
- Calcitonin -- This hormone is involved in bone metabolism. Types include:
- Intranasal (Miacalcin)
- Subcutaneous (Calcimar)
- Plicamycin (Mithracin)
Analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may also be given for pain.
Localized Paget's disease needs no treatment, if there are no symptoms and no evidence of active disease. Orthopedic surgery may be needed to correct a deformity in severe cases.
Support Groups
For additional support and resources, see the Paget Foundation.
Expectations (prognosis)
Disease activity and symptoms can generally be controlled with current medications. A small percentage of patients may develop a cancer of the bone called osteosarcoma. Some patients will need joint replacement surgery.
- Bone fractures
- Deafness
- Deformities
- Heart failure
- Paraplegia
- Spinal stenosis
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of Paget's disease.

TV legend Betty White is helping Aretha Franklin celebrate her upcoming 71st birthday with a unique gift. The beloved 91-year-old actress has shown her R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the Queen of Soul by adopting a Lady Amherst's pheasant in Franklin's name in conjunction with the Los Angeles Zoo Association's Adopt an Animal Program.
"I would like to thank such an icon and American favorite like Betty White for sponsoring a beautiful pheasant in my honor," says Aretha in a statement. "What beautiful colors!"
The adoption of the pheasant was sponsored by The Lifeline Program, a life insurance settlement company for which White serves as a spokesperson.
"We're honored to work with Betty and contribute to Aretha's showy birthday surprise!" says Lifeline executive Stephen Terrell . Franklin's birthday takes place this Monday.
Meanwhile, Aretha currently has three upcoming concerts on her tour itinerary, according to Pollstar . The shows take place this Wednesday at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York; March 30 at Prudential Hall in Newark, New Jersey; and April 12 at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto.

In the near future, when you want to hear a certain song or style of music, you may not ask a friend or even a DJ for advice. Instead, your computer will find what you like and maybe even perform for you. Music and technology have merged.
Just asked the band Poleshadow. If the makeup and mustache don't give it away, the music might: Poleshadow is a Florida band beating to a different drummer.
"This is Bro-bot. He really doesn't have any ambitions or goals. His real only interest is to be a percussive instrument," explained Captain Kissez.
Bro-bot outsourcers the job of musician. He plays programmed beats written by the band. It's computer-controlled music.
A computer can listen to music, too and even catalog it in to groups in a way not so different than a record store. It can even look deeper in a way science has uncovered the secrets to human life. It's a process called the Music Genome Project
"It is a very valuable and very complex search engine because there are many, many variables. Three hundred fifty variables in pop music," said music producer Mark J. Dye.
Think of it as discovering music's DNA.
"Which is fairly complex when you consider that human DNA is far more simplistic than that as far as chromosomes," Dye said.
The practical application is loud and pumping through laptop speakers and headphones in the music app Pandora.
Type in a favorite song, and the computer makes an entire playlist of other songs it knows you'll be into based on the music DNA of that favorite song.
It's smashing those old music genres titles like top 40, rock and country.
"I think it's very democratizing because now you can have people's interests be valued in their own personal level. Whereas before they may have been lumped into a larger statistical category, for example people under the age of 30 who are female. But now you can have more targeted interests which I think is a good thing," said University of Tampa Music Chair Bradford Blackburn.
It's enough to wonder, could the machines take over the charts?
If a computer knows what you like and can play how you like, could it write what you like? After all, there's a formula to most every song.
"It's amazing what we can do with twelve notes and basically four different rhythms," Dye said.
The Music Genome Program recognizes them all. Dye believes computer created hits could happen.
"Absolutely. Of course the computer is being programmed by a human being who knew how to do it. So generally speaking a computer is just mimicking what a human being is telling it to do," he said.
But if you ask the band that employs a robot drummer it's a different answer.
"I think music is such a magical thing. You feel something when you hear music and make music that you can't describe. You can't really break it down to science in my opinion," said singer Apple Butter.
The Music Genome Program is mostly a closed system run by a private business, but a lot of the cataloging and grouping requires human input.
