One of Superstorm Sandy's effects on New Yorkers has been to drive them back to the technological stone age.
Huffington Post reports that because of limited or non-existent cellular coverage in the area, smart phones have been useless. That has caused users to turn back the clock … to public pay phones.
Remember those?
The story notes that, "… the storm has enabled the return of the long-ignored public pay phone. On Tuesday, a line of the disconnected waited to use a payphone in the West Village, some of them making what was surely their first pay phone call in many years. In the East Village, a young boy tugged on his mother's sleeve in delight as change returned to the coin slot after an unanswered call. On Broadway below Union Square, two men in New York Giants sweatshirts operated a payphone in tandem: One dialed the phone while the other read out the number from a cell phone, the device in his hand reduced to a $700 address book."
Who'd a believed it?
The piece notes that just months ago, "New York announced a pilot program to convert several pay phones around in the city into free WiFi hotspots. The move was widely praised as a successful effort to transform worthless technology …"
Maybe not so worthless after all.

Just goes to show that you should never fully discard old technology. I will never, ever convert to Blu-Ray, unless it's the only thing available. I still prefer to buy CDs versus downloading mp3s. You can have my vast CD collection when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I've had people tell me that their land lines in NY/NJ didn't work after the storm. The problem wasn't with the land lines, it was that the people only had wireless home phones that required electricity. If they'd had the old wired sets (touchtone or dial) most of them could have had working service.

Blu Ray is good. I also prefer CD's to MP3's. It is fun to watch old movies where the characters are dependant on pay phones. and to track the cell phone usage as it grew.

@ chest fever: I am so frustrated that I can no longer have an 'analog' landline. I'm a Comcast customer and my phone line (digital) runs through my cable modem. So when the power and/or modem goes out, so does my landline service. It's a nightmare! I would love to go back to my old landline w/ wires service…

Hmmmmm: I also enjoy watching movies where pay phones are still part of the norm and/or are still the major means of communication. Seeing them brings back good memories. Pay phones were part of our everyday culture at one time and we should never forget about them.

The only problem with all those land lines is if the wind knocked the wires down, you had no phone. That's what we experienced in NE Ohio. They're not all underground cable, but if the phone works, it's the greatest asset in a storm. Pay phones aren't owned and operated by the phone company anymore, either. Someone is getting very rich off 25 cents per minute!

Bloomberg and all of the other idiots knew for several days that Sandy was coming. They didn't preposition generators, fuel, water…nothing. But, he did outlaw extra large soft drinks. What a buffoon.

The 5 Devices that Burn Through Your Power Bill
Everyone we know is trying to reduce their energy consumption. If it's not for the sake of the environment, it's for the sake of their ever-increasing utility bills. Unplugging "vampire" devices that are known to suck energy even when they're turned off (we're looking at you, plasma TVs) and choosing energy-efficient appliances are good ways to save some cash. To give you a head start, DVICE rounded up the 5 specific (we're talking brands, models and sizes, here) "tech toys" that are the worst offenders.
In the market for a vacuum cleaner? How about a gaming console, or a flat screen TV?
Power suckers are all around us. If you're not careful, you might even drag one into your home from a trip to the electronics store. But if you make sure to steer clear of these 5 devices, you'll be on your way to energy nirvana:
65-inch Panasonic Viera TH-65VX100U
575 watts (in operation)
Plasma TVs are notorious for being the biggest energy vampires. Choose an LCD, LED or projection model instead.
Origin Genesis Gaming PC
585 watts (in operation)
Gaming PCs are all powerful, this one just happens to be the worst offender. If you don't need the braun, skip it and buy a more modest device.
Dyson DC23 Canister Vacuum
1,400 watts (while on)
Dyson makes stellar vacuums for sure. This one is the most powerful (220 airwatts of suction) and the one that uses the most energy. Pick a different Dyson if you're just using it to tidy up.
Xbox 360 Elite
165 watts (while playing a game)
Both the XBox 360 and the PS3 use way more energy than the Wii (While on, the Wii only uses about 20 watts).
Life Fitness Platinum Treadmill
2,400 watts (estimated) (in use)
Using an at-home treadmill regularly can be solely responsible for $7 or more on your bill every month. Make running outside part of your save-money plan and use the treadmill only when it's cold or raining.

Sweet lord y'all are calling them out! ruh roh raggy...
The only good thing about living in AZ, I got to choose how I wanted to pay for my electricity. You could choose a monthly bill or pay by debit account, which meant you bought minutes like a phone card. I initially did not have a refrigerator and being frugal(waiting for it to go on sale), i used an ice chest for the first month aft i bought my house (yup). After I bought the fridge the price for electricity shot up. It was not my AC, dishwasher, TV, stereo, or garage door. After that fridge i wanted to unplug that thing daily....

Someone should be able to make a treadmill that powers your house, rather than suck power!

Lorde may have canceled her tour dates due to illness, but her new MAC line of cosmetics will be rolling out on schedule in June.
Women's Wear Daily reports that the line will launch June 5 on MACCosmetics.com, and at the MAC stores in New York's Times Square and Fifth Avenue. It'll become available internationally online and in Paris starting in July. MAC also has revealed the image for the new campaign, which features a brooding photo of Lorde wearing "Pure Heroine" lipstick in her signature deep plum, and Penultimate Eye Liner in "Rapidblack," a deep black. The lipstick costs $16; the liner, $19.50.
As previously reported, Lorde's been working on her line since last year with MAC senior artist Amber Dreadon , who has been traveling on tour with Lorde as her makeup artist, and working with her to design her tour looks.
In a statement announcing the partnership, Lorde said, "I have loved MAC Cosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends!"

Endosymbiotic Actinidic Archaea and Viroids-Role in Genomic Regulation
Aim: A hypothesis regarding the role of endosymbiotic actinidic archaea and viroids in genomic regulation is put forward. Endogenous digoxin has been related to the pathogenesis of huntington's disease and trisomy 21. The possibility of endogenous digoxin synthesis by endosymbiotic bacteria with a mevalonate pathway and cholesterol catabolism was considered and explored in the study. The role of archaeal viroids was also studied. Methods: Cholesterol substrate was added to the plasma of the patients and the generation of cytochrome F420, free RNA, free DNA, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, hydrogen peroxide, pyruvate, glutamate, cytochrome C, hexokinase, ATP synthase, HMG CoA redutase, digoxin and bile acids were studied. The changes with the addition of antibiotics and rutile to the patient's plasma were also studied. Results: The study showed rutile dependent increase in archaea and RNA viroids in the sera of these patients. The generation of cholesterol catabolites- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, hydrogen peroxide, pyruvate, glutamate, digoxin and bile acids was increased in the presence of rutile suggesting a rutile dependent alternate biochemistry. The mevalonate pathway, ATP synthase and glycolysis in this archaea were also rutile dependent. The addition of antibiotics to the patient's serum decreased all these activities suggesting their archaeal origin. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the existence of a shadow biosphere of rutile dependent archaea and viroids in these disease states. The archaeal cholesterol catabolism and viroidal RNA interference is crucial to the pathogenesis of these diseases. Actinidic archaea and viroids can regulate genomic function.
Key words: Huntington's disease; Trisomy 21; Actinides; Archaea; Viroids; Cholesterol Oxidase; HMG CoA reductase; Genomic function

Holiday apartments in Lefkada are an option for those travelling as a smaller group.
-Beaches: Eggrenmi Beach is widely acknowledged as one of Greece's most beautiful with its amazing turquoise waters separated from majestic white cliffs by swathes of fine sand. Most of the tourists who find the strength to descend the over 300 steps declare that it was more than worth the trouble getting there. Port Katsiki is another popular beach in Lefkada. It possesses the same enchanting blue waters as Eggrenmi as well as beachside tavernas to treat any pangs of hunger that may arise.
-Gastronomy: Among the tavernas considered the best to dine in in Lefkada is the Taverna Minas. This is where one can munch on scrumptious fish and fresh seafood while drinking in the refreshing breeze from the sea. What's more, the place is clean, the service great and the prices very fair. With places like The Pinewood within easy reach, tourists in Lefkada holiday rentals will rarely find the need to cook. The anchovies and octopus served here leaves a lifelong impression on the palate and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.
-Sightseeing: A walk around the town of Lefkada and the villages that dot the island will reveal many interesting sites that where visitors will find good use for their cameras. It is not difficult moving from village to village as they are no more than a kilometre from each other. Starting in Lefkada Town there is the Platia Agios Spyridon square which apart from hosting a nice selection of bars and restaurants, is used during the celebration of a number of festivals. There is also a 17th century church that's worth a look-in. An amble through the forgotten hillside villages of Sfakiotes is littered with breathtaking townscapes and sea views.
-Boat trips: Making a day-long boat trip through along the Greek Ionian coastline is an essential part of any Lefkada itinerary. This journey will take tourists on a tour of the islands with stopovers at some beaches. While on board the traditional Greek galleon visitors will have their appetites catered to with an assortment of enticing grilled delights. One of the more interesting parts of the voyage is the stop at a cave which the travellers can swim to.
Savvy travellers will book their holiday homes in Lefkada for September as not only will the summer crowds have dissipated, the climate will be a touch more friendly. Whereas typical June-August temperatures range between 29 and 32°C, autumn temperatures lie between 23 and 26°C, allowing for more exploratory treks and more outdoor activity. Those who stay until October might catch some showers as the rainy season begins. The rains increase as winter enters full swing.
Lefkada is just seven miles from the Aktion Airport which is most busy between April and October, welcoming seasonal flights and charters from most parts of Europe. UK holidaymakers can get flights from Gatwick and Manchester airports. While taxis are available near the arrivals terminal, the cheaper way for tourists to get to their holiday homes in Lefkada are the regular buses which cost less than €3.

Various Quick Italian Cooking Tips
Here are some quick tips when it comes to Italian cooking and they run the gamut from dealing with burns to dealing with vegetables. When it comes to garlic smells on your hands or fingers, put your hands or fingers in lemon juice. This works like a charm to remove the smell of garlic from your hands or fingers. Interested in Chili but have it all over your hands? Wash your nails and hands thoroughly afterwards or use gloves if you can. Chili powder in eyes is not a good thing. This can be a recipe for serious trouble.
Sometimes we all wind up getting a burn or two when cooking. An idea is to cover the burned area in toothpaste to avoid a burn mark. This may sound crazy but it certainly beats the cold water trick by a long shot. This makes even the 10 minute time limit under cold water look extreme! Everyone loves fresh pasta so if you are looking to get the best consistency and texture after you roll out the pasta, hang it on a shelf or back of a chair to dry for 5 minutes.
Along with this, when you are cutting pasta especially ravioli, it would be better instead of using wooden surfaces to cut, you might want to consider a metal or marble worktop so that the surface isn't marred by the ravioli cutters. When it comes to veggies and washing most of the time you can wash veggies, the exception to this rule is mushrooms. Washing these if they are fresh just makes them soggy and ends up toughening them. Here is the exception to that particular rule and that is if the mushrooms are dried in the first place. Bear this in mind when handling veggies.
Getting your oil too hot so that it burns isn't a good idea. Warming it instead of frying it will make a difference in not only your oil texture but also the taste of the foot. Try warming the oil for about one minute on high then dropping the heat immediately to medium after the space of a minute. If your oil is smoking, then it is too hot and in danger of burning. If you have walnuts, an easier way to crack them would be to place two in your hand and squeeze them. They should break more easily in this fashion.
In the areas of making pasta sauces, when it comes to stirring ingredients, it is better to use either a back/forward motion or down/up instead of circles and mixed everything together quite nicely. It doesn't take a lot of time and if your tomato sauce still tastes sour, try adding a teaspoon of milk or a pinch of sugar to counteract the acidity. Using these tips can go a long way in order to help you get the most out of your cooking in the Italian fashion. Try them the next time that you cook Italian and see what a difference these make in your cooking. You don't need to travel to Italy to enjoy the Italian food.

this spot has served me well over the years, but soon it'll go dark.
i'm ready for a fresh start.
a new format, a new space.
a place for collected images, a place for stories. and too, whatever else unfurls.
come visit here.
a cabin. in the woods. next to a stream.
everywhere, blossoms. apple. forsythia. daffodil. azalea. cherry.
everywhere, birds. so much birdsong. owlsong. and other song. of rain on a tin roof. of banjo and washboard. of dry wood popping and cracking in the woodstove. of rocking chair and knitting needles.
and i learned more about showing up. and saying yes to this life of mine.
and i finally met this dear, dear one. yes, she really does wear red shoes. yes, she's incredible in so so so many ways. and when she asked me about joining habit again for the month of april, of course i had to say yes.

it's been well over a year since i mopped the kitchen floor. i've swept and spot-mopped and vacuumed and washed the rag rug that runs the length of the countertop that gets the most action, but i haven't gotten down on my hands and knees and really scrubbed.
as i worked the worn maple floorboards this morning i thought of all the living that has happened here since the last time it was truly cleaned. this floor has seen dance parties. full blown temper tantrums. hunger and thirst and complete satiation. laughter and yelling. creation and frustration. joyfilled and heartwrenching conversation. sweat and tears. and of course, ridiculous amounts of food.
this floor provides the foundation for the heart of my home. i look forward to the living that it will witness and support in the time between now and the next thorough cleaning.

i've lived here over five years. and at last, i am starting to feel at home. i realized it as i looked at the nest i found while gathering greens last week. finally, the bits are coming together and within i am finding the whole.
there are other bits too...
...i'm holding gratitude for my parents. for their recent trek. for all of their help.
...i can not get enough of this song. and this one too. (okay, the whole album actually).
...i'm delighted to be spending another month over at habit.
...i'm thinking about winter wilderness adventure. for four years they beckoned on the horizon, but i never visited. soon this will change.
...i picked up the knitting needles again. for another pair of these. but bigger. perhaps another pair of these as well.
tomorrow i'll make this year's solstice wreath. the greens and such have filled the porch with their lovely piney smell. for almost a week, these bits have been waiting. waiting to be woven into a whole.

Drumming up dollars for schools and other community groups can be really tedious, but we found an idea for fundraising that's also fun!
Auto Expert Steve Strope recently visited the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, Calif.; where some amazing exhibits span over 100 years of automotive history.
One of the museum's current displays is also a fantastic idea for a charity fundraiser that you can help organize in your community.
Here's what they did:
They invited nine of the hottest hot rod builders in the country to create pedal car versions of their personal style of hot rod. Each builder started with a pedal car 1932 Ford Roadster. They used their vision, craftsmanship and passion to create a one-off collectible that will be auctioned, with the proceeds going to charity.
Why not inspire the artists and craftspeople in your town to create their own versions of a unique art project for charity? It could be hand-painted garden pots, miniature rocking chairs, or bird houses...the list goes on.
Any item that shows off artistic or design skill and will get people to bid on it at an auction will work. And the best part is, it's fun for everyone!

16th-ranked Bears look to keep it rolling against struggling Bengals
Northern Colorado notes | Idaho State notes
GREELEY, Colo. -- Now in the heart of the Big Sky Conference schedule, the Bears (14-3, 3-1 Big Sky) won't get much time to savor their big victory Thursday night against Weber State.
The Idaho State Bengals (4-12, 1-3) are next up and will come calling to Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion at 7:05 p.m. (MT) Saturday night, Jan. 9.
Northern Colorado, undefeated at home this season (5-0), has a chance to put the Bengals in a serious hole in the early-season conference race, extend its home winning streak to 11 games and win at least 15 games in a season for the first time since 1998, when the Bears finished 16-11.
Idaho State is coming off a 68-56 loss to Northern Arizona on Thursday night in Flagstaff. Leading scorers Amorrow Morgan and Broderick Gilchrest were both benched to start the second half of the loss, so Northern Colorado knows it's meeting a wounded bunch that might already be playing for its season.
The Bears are in the midst of one of their best seasons ever, and if they continue to scorch the nets (they're hitting 48 percent from the field in their last five games) and keep their opponents from doing the same (foes are hitting just .440 in the last five), they should move past the Bengals before hitting the road against next weekend for conference tilts at Portland State and Eastern Washington.
Date: Saturday, Jan. 9
Tip: 7:05 p.m. (MT)
Location: Greeley, Colo.
Venue: Butler-Hancock (2,977)
Radio: 1310 KFKA (Greeley)
Play-by-play: Troy Coverdale
Web stream: 1310kfka.com
Television: BigSkyTV.org

Northern Colorado will put its perfect home mark (5-0) this season on the line when Idaho State comes calling to Butler-Hancock. The Bears are off to a historic start; ISU has struggled.
This will be the 40th game between the Bears and the Bengals. ISU leads 12-27, but NC has had a little more success at home (7-12). They split home victories in last year's regular season.
Tad Boyle (45-61) is in his fourth year with Northern Colorado and fourth year overall as a head coach. Joe O'Brien (42-67) is in his fourth year at Idaho State and fourth year overall.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After multiple samples; my fiancé and I have decided on this one! I'm excited for our spring wedding and I love this invitation. I love all the pictures that we are able to put on this invitation and the theme is great."
"I fell in the love with the design when I saw it online, and after receiving a sample - I knew it was the one I wanted! The paper is very elegant and feels expensive! I love this romantic autumn card!"
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"The paper quality is excellent. The reviewer worked with me several times to get the colors exactly right. I am so happy with this card and the RSVP cards as well."
"I wanted mountains in the background but something simple and elegant. I am having a winter wedding on a mountain and this worked perfectly for it."

The Sanpete County Sheriff's Office reported Wednesday that a firefighter working at the scene of a forest fire at Fairview Canyon was flown by helicopter to the hospital after a bee sting sent the crew member into anaphylactic shock.
According to the office's Twitter account, the crew member had to be reached by helicopter in the rugged terrain, where the fire has been burning for the past three days. The crew member suffered an allergic reaction to the sting, but the condition improved by the time the Life Flight helicopter reached the hospital.

Being a part of "Generation Y" I always thought it was too broad of a categorization. My sister, 31 years old, who is technically within Generation Y, couldn't be any more different than me. I'm 24 years old and am smack dab in the middle of Generation Y categorization; but yet, we're two completely different with almost opposite goals due to very different experiences we've had growing up. Therefore, I always thought that there should be a different categorization for those 25-years-old and under in Gen Y because we were playing on AOL at the age of 5 years old, had cell phones in middle school, had access to Facebook back in 2004, and were the first to understand Twitter. My 31 year old sister… not so much.
And now, it looks Nielsen agrees… to a degree. They have changed the "Generation Y" description to "Generation C" meaning "connected". Although they include 18- to 34-year-olds, there is a focus on the 18- to 24-year-old demographic. They point out that 18- to 24-year-olds make up 23% of the population. Apparently, we also watch 27% of online videos, account for 27% of visitors to social networking sites, own 33% of tablets and use 39% of smartphones. Those are some fun facts! I mostly love my generation because we're so fascinating when it comes to being consumers. This generation presents a new and exciting challenge for marketers and content providers because "Generation C" is always on the move but CONSTANTLY connected through all sorts of devices. This generation is used to having knowledge at their fingertips and if they don't know the answer to something, there's always a way to find it in 30 seconds or less. We (Generation C) need to be engaged, but at a quick pace because we're moving and multi-tasking between tweeting, facebooking, blogging, texting, pinning, emailing, chatting… you name it!
This is the time for marketers to stand out and shine… and I believe that if you're a part of this generation, that you have an edge because you understand the uniqueness "Generation C" brings to the table.

Table of Contents
WWSympa, Sympa's web interface
WWSympa is Sympa's web interface.
WWSympa is fully integrated with Sympa. It uses
sympa.conf and Sympa's libraries. The default Sympa installation will also install WWSympa.
Every single piece of HTML in WWSympa is generated by the CGI code using template files (See Template file format). This makes internationalization of pages, as well as per-site customization, easier.
The code consists of one single PERL CGI script,
wwsympa.fcgi. To enhance performances you can configure WWSympa to use FastCGI; the CGI will be persistent in memory.
All data will be accessed through the CGI, including web archives. This is required to allow the authentication scheme to be applied systematically.
Authentication is based on passwords stored in the database table
user_table; if the appropriate
Crypt::CipherSaber is installed, passwords are encrypted in the database using reversible encryption based on RC4. Otherwise, they are stored in clear text. In both cases, reminding of passwords is possible.
To keep track of authentication information, WWSympa uses HTTP cookies stored on the client side. The HTTP cookie only indicates that a specified email address has been authenticated; permissions are evaluated when an action is requested.
The same web interface is used by the listmaster, list owners, subscribers and others. Depending on permissions, the same URL may generate a different view.
WWSympa's main loop algorithm is roughly the following:
- check authentication information returned by the HTTP cookie;
- evaluate user's permissions for the requested action;
- process the requested action;
- set up variables resulting from the action;
- parse the HTML template files.
Web server setup
wwsympa.fcgi access permissions
Because Sympa and WWSympa share a lot of files,
wwsympa.fcgi must run with the same uid/gid as
bounced.pl and
sympa.pl. There are different ways to achieve this.
Default behaviour
Until version 5.3: SetuidPerl
This is the default method but might be insecure. If you don't set the
--enable_secure configuration option,
wwsympa.fcgi is installed with the SetUID bit set. On most systems, you will need to install the suidperl package.
Starting version 5.4: C wrapper
The C wrapper presented in the preceding section will be automatically built starting version 5.4.
The wwsympa.fcgi is wrapped in a small C script, wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi, in order to avoid to use the – unsecure and no longer maintained – SetuidPerl mode.
Alternatives (all versions)
sudo to run
wwsympa.fcgi as user
sympa. Your Apache configuration should use
wwsympa_sudo_wrapper.pl instead of
wwsympa.fcgi. You should edit your
/etc/sudoers file (with
visudo command) as follows:
apache ALL = (sympa) NOPASSWD: /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi
You should also check that the requiretty and env_reset flags are not set in the
sudoers configuration file :
#Defaults requiretty
#Defaults env_reset
requiretty set, sudo would only run when the user is logged in to a real tty; with
env_reset set, most of your environment variables would be ignored... including your server name, the URL requested, etc.
Dedicated Apache server
Run a dedicated Apache server with
sympa.sympa as uid.gid (the Apache default is
Apache suExec
Use an Apache virtual host with
sympa.sympa as uid.gid; Apache needs to be compiled with suexec. Be aware that the Apache suexec usually define a lowest UID/GID allowed to be a target user for suEXEC. For most systems, including binaries distribution of Apache, the default value
100 is common. So Sympa UID (and Sympa GID) must be higher than 100 or suexec must be tuned in order to allow lower UID/GID. Check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html#install for details. The User and Group directive have to be set before the FastCgiServer directive is encountered;
suExec usage example. Written by Daniel Marczisovszky
The following configuration example uses pathes used by Debian. Please set your paths according to your own configuration.
To use suExec with FastCGI, enable both modules in your Apache config.
LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
LoadModule suexec_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so
Note for Debian/Ubuntu users: these modules can be enabled with the
a2enmod helper script:
a2enmod suexec
a2enmod fastcgi
To run FastCGI scripts combined with suExec, the
FastCgiWrapper directive should be set. See more about this directive here: http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html#FastCgiWrapper In theory
FastCgiWrapper On could be enough, but FastCGI documentation says it is not reliable all the time. On Debian the path to the suExec executable is
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
# Path to suexec executable
FastCgiWrapper /usr/lib/apache2/suexec
FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi
# -restart kills crashed applications
FastCgiConfig -restart
Since suExec allows CGI scripts to be executed only within the server's document root (we assume it is
/var/www), create this small wrapper in
# Path to your real wwsympa.fcgi
exec /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
It should be executable, and both it's directory and the script itself should be owned by sympa:
chmod 755 /var/www/_sympa_/wwsympa.fcgi
chown -R sympa:sympa /var/www/_sympa_
To be able to use wwsympa, add these to your VirtualHost section in Apache config:
<VirtualHost *>
SuexecUserGroup sympa sympa
<Directory "/var/www/_sympa_/">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Alias /wwsicons /usr/share/sympa/icons
Alias /wws /var/www/_sympa_/wwsympa.fcgi
Alias /static-sympa /usr/share/sympa/static_content
Installing wwsympa.fcgi in your Apache server
In the following code examples, we suppose you're using the default 5.3 behaviour (see wwsympa.fcgi access permissions). The script launching the web server is then
wwsympa.fcgi. Depending to your configuration, this is likely to be changed as follows:
- If you are using sudo, then replace
wwsympa.fcgi calls with
- If you are using the Sympa 5.4 and higher default behaviour, then replace
wwsympa.fcgi calls with
You first need to set an alias to the directory where Sympa stores static contents (CSS, member pictures, documentation) directly delivered by Apache.
Alias /static-sympa /home/sympa/static_content
If you chose to run
wwsympa.fcgi as a simple CGI, you simply need to script alias it.
ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
Running FastCGI will provide much faster responses from your server and reduce load (to understand why, read http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-perf.htm).
If you are using mod_fcgid Apache module :
mod_fastci was recently reported to have critical session management issues (at least when used with Sympa).
After logging in the Sympa web interface, users were attributed the identity of other previously logged in people. This could potentially lead to basic users being authenticated as listmaster.
Consequently we strongly discourage you from using mod_fastcgi until further notice. mod_fgcid does not have this bug and works otherwise as well as mod_fastcgi.
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
IPCCommTimeout 120
MaxProcessCount 2
<Location /sympa>
SetHandler fcgid-script
ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
If you are using mod_fastcgi Apache module :
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
FastCgiServer /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi -processes 2
<Location /sympa>
SetHandler fastcgi-script
ScriptAlias /sympa /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi
If you run virtual hosts, then each FastCgiServer(s) can serve as multiple hosts. Therefore you need to define it in the common section of your Apache configuration file.
Installing wwsympa.fcgi in nginx
This configuration was originally submitted by E. Kovarski, and modified according to recent version of nginx.
To save any future nginx users any headaches, here is a sample nginx.conf stanza which works with Sympa v5.3.3:
server {
listen 80;
server_name my.domain.org;
location /sympa {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/sympa)(.*)$;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
location /static-sympa {
alias /usr/local/sympa/static_content;
Note that the request_uri fastcgi parameter is necessary for virtual hosting.
I got bit by the documentation which said server_name is compared against http_host but after some debugging I noticed that $robot was not set in wwsympa properly unless it can match http_host against request_uri.
Installing wwsympa.fcgi in lighttpd
This configuration was submitted by M. Deranek.
Here is a configuration snippet to make run Sympa with lighttpd (http://www.lighttpd.net) webserver.
Config might require some path tweaking as it customized to Gentoo...
server.modules += ("mod_fastcgi")
alias.url += ( "/static-sympa/icons/" => "/usr/share/sympa/icons/" )
alias.url += ( "/static-sympa/" => "/var/spool/sympa/static_content/" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\^/sympa" {
fastcgi.server = ( "/sympa" =>
(( "check-local" => "disable",
"bin-path" => "/usr/libexec/sympa/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi",
"socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/sympa.sock",
"max-procs" => 2,
"idle-timeout" => 20,
Using FastCGI
FastCGI is an extension to CGI, that provides persistency for CGI programs. It is extremely useful with WWSympa, since source code interpretation and all initialisation tasks are performed only once when wwsympa.fcgi processes start. These processes then work as a servlet/daemon, endlessly waiting for client requests.
To run WWSympa with FastCGI, you need to :
- set the use_fast_cgi sympa.conf parameter to
1 ;
- install the
FCGI Perl module (see installing_perl_and_cpan_modules) ;
- install an Apache module that provides FastCGI features. You can choose between 2 such implementations :
- mod_fastcgi, the
historical one. Note that it was not extended to work with Apache 2. You can however apply the patch provided here.
- mod_fcgid, an alternate implementation. The main difference between this module and
mod_fastcgi is that fastcgi scripts are not launched at Apache startup, but when the first client request happens. This module should be preferred.
wwsympa.conf parameters
(Default value:
Where to store HTML archives. This parameter is used by the
archived.pl daemon. It is a good idea to install the archive outside the web hierarchy to prevent possible backdoors in the access control powered by WWSympa. However, if Apache is configured with a chroot, you may have to install the archive in the Apache directory tree.
archive_default_index thrd - mail
(Default value:
The default index organization when entering the web archive: either threaded or in chronological order.
(Default value:
The file containing the PID of
(Default value:
This is the directory where bounced.pl daemon will store the last bouncing message for each user. These mails will be available through the web interface in the bounce management page.
This directory is organised as follows:
<bounce_path value>/<listname>@<robot_name>/<email_address>
<email_address> is a file containing the last bouncing message for this address in this list.
Warning: this parameter must not be mistaken with queuebounce which defines the the spool where incoming error reports are stored until bounced.pl picks them up and processes them.
(Default value:
The file containing the PID of
(Default value:
Lifetime (in minutes) of HTTP cookies. This is the default value when not set explicitly by users.
(Default value:
Domain for the HTTP cookies. If beginning with a dot (
.), the cookie is available within the specified internet domain. Otherwise, for the specified host. Example:
cookie_domain cru.fr
cookie is available for host 'cru.fr'
cookie_domain .cru.fr
cookie is available for any host within 'cru.fr' domain
The only reason for replacing the default value would be where WWSympa's authentication process is shared with an application running on another host.
(Default value : undefined)
Archives are prepared using Mhonarc. You may use an alternative program to process each message to be archived. In such case introduce the custom_archiver parameter which is the path of an external program. CAUTION: Note that Sympa always guess that the custom archiver script accepts two variables : "–list" whose value is the address of the list (including the domain part) and "–file" that will contain the absolute path to the message to be archived. Each time the custom archiver is called, it is called with these two parameters with their values filled.
(Default value:
Organization of the WWSympa home page. If you have only a few lists, the default value
home (presenting a list of lists organized by topic) should be replaced by
lists (a simple alphabetical list of lists).
icons_url (obsolete since Sympa 5.4)
WWSympa will log using this facility. Defaults to Sympa's syslog facility. Configure your syslog according to this parameter.
(Default value:
Path to the (superb) MhOnArc program. Required for the HTML archive.
(Default value:
password_case sensitive | insensitive
(Default value:
If set to
insensitive, WWSympa's password check will be insensitive. This only concerns passwords stored in the Sympa database, not the ones in LDAP.
Be careful: in previous 3.xx versions of Sympa, passwords were lowercased before database insertion. Therefore changing to case-sensitive password checking could bring you some password checking problems.
(Default value:
Mailing List Service)
The name of your mailing list service. It will appear in the Title section of WWSympa.
use_fast_cgi 0|1
(Default value:
Choice of whether or not to use FastCGI. On http://listes.cru.fr, using FastCGI increases WWSympa's performance by as much as a factor of 10. Refer to http://www.fastcgi.com and the Apache config section of this document for details about FastCGI.
Database configuration
WWSympa needs an RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) in order to run. All database access is performed via the Sympa API. Sympa currently interfaces with MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Sybase.
A database is needed to store user passwords and preferences. The database structure is documented in the Sympa documentation; scripts for creating it are also provided with the Sympa distribution (in
User information (password and preferences) are stored in the
User table. User passwords stored in the database are encrypted using reversible RC4 encryption controlled with the
cookie parameter, since WWSympa might need to remind users of their passwords. The security of WWSympa rests on the security of your database.
Logging in as listmaster
Once Sympa is running, you should log in on the web interface as a privileged user (listmaster) to explore the admin interface, create mailing lists, etc.
Multiple email addresses can be declared as listmasters via the
sympa.conf (or
listmaster configuration parameter (see sympa.conf parameters). Note that listmasters on the main robot (declared in
sympa.conf) also have listmaster privileges on virtual hosts, but they will not receive the various mail notifications (list creations, warnings,...) regarding these virtual hosts.
The listmasters should log in with their canonical email address as an identifier (not email@example.com). The associated password is not declared in
sympa.conf; it will be allocated by Sympa when first hitting the
Send me a password button on the web interface. As for any user, the password can then be modified via the
Preferences menu.
Note that you must start the
sympa.pl process with the web interface; it is responsible for delivering mail messages including password reminders.
The listmaster web interface
This section contains screenshots of the functionalities accessible through the Sympa web administration interface.
Identity change
As listmaster, you can assume another user's identity. Once done, the web interface will behave as if you were this person. This is useful for assistance.
Log level change
By modifying this option, you change the log level of Sympa without restarting it. This allows you to temporarily increase the amount of logs produced.
Session vizualisation
Suspend my subscription
Click on "Manage your lists" in the home menu. The form displayed allows you to suspend your subscription for one or more lists for a specified period of time. A summary table allows you to know the status of each list to which you are subscribed.
In order to suspend your subscription to one or more lists, follow these steps:
- Select a start date through the calendar that appears when you click on the "start date" field;
- if you wish, you can specify the date when you want your subscription to resume. Do it using the "end date" field. You can click on "indefinite." In this case, you will have to return to this page to resume your subscription;
- Select the lists you want to suspend you subscription for. The "Toogle selection" button allows you to invert the selection;
- Click on "Submit" to confirm the suspension.
To resume your subscription to one or more lists, follow these steps:
- Select the list(s) you want to reactivate. The "Toogle selection" button allows you to invert the selection;
- Click "Restart".
How to prevent suspension for certain lists?
Some institutional lists must not be allowed for suspension.
In that case, users must not be able to tick the checkbox in the suspension management screen.
B. Marchal (univ. Lorraine) provided the following tip to achieve it:
Modify the suspend_request.tt2 template like this:
[% IF user.email %]
[% IF suspend_list %]
[% FOREACH sub = suspend_list %]

[% SET allowed_suspension = 1 %]
[% current_list = get_which.shift %]
[% IF current_list.admin.custom_vars %]
[% FOREACH cvar IN current_list.admin.custom_vars %]
[% IF cvar.name == 'disable_suspend' && cvar.value == 'on' %]
[% allowed_suspension = 0 %]
[% IF allowed_suspension %]
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="listname" value="[% sub.listname %]" />
[% hidden_head %][% sub.listname %][% hidden_end %]

[% IF sub.listsuspend %]
 [%|loc%]Suspended from[% END %] [% sub.liststartdate %] [%|loc%]to[% END %] [% IF sub.listenddate %][% sub.listenddate %][% ELSE %][%|loc%]indefinite end date[% END %][% END %]
 [% sub.listreception %]

[% IF allowed_suspension %]
 Suspension & désabonnement impossible

[%|loc%]No subscription.[% END %]

<input class="MainMenuLinks" type="button" value="[%|loc%]Toogle selection[%END%]" onclick="toggle_selection(document.suspend_request.listname)" />
Then define in the lists you don't want to be suspended a custom parameter with the name "disable_suspend" and the value "on".
You list will appear in the suspension management screen, but without the checkbox allowing to suspend it.
Exclude users
If you are administrator of the list, click on "Review members"→"Exclude" button in "Manage list members".
Users listed are excluded from the list. Beware, for this feature is different from the blacklist. Exclusion makes sense when a list is based on external data sources ; thanks to exclusion, a user can unsubscribe (or be removed by list owner) even though she was included via an external data source. Users get into the exclusion table, through the standard unsubscribe/delete functions. They get off the exclusion table with the standard subscribe/add functions.

Team Ratings
V. Mannone
Dodgy pass out almost cost his side within the first few minutes but appeared settled after that early blip.
K. Gibbs
Was allowed to build up steam down the left flank and made the most of it. His constant bombing one was one of the more potent aspects of Arsenal's attack, while he was also sound defensively.
T. Vermaelen
Was uncharacteristically sloppy at times both on and off the ball, notably letting Machado in at the death of the first half. Consistent fouling afforded the opposition the chance to build attacks
L. Koscielny
Needless yellow on the half hour mark ensured that he was treading on eggshells for the remainder of the game but dealt pretty well with Olympiacos' at-times one dimensional attack. Spurned headed chance to kill the game off.
C. Jenkinson
Another game that will add to a swelling confidence. Progressive going forward while never looking in trouble with his defensive duties
Short passes here and there didn't always come off in a performance that wasn't as magisterial as others he has produced this term.
Always looked the dangerman for his team, constantly threatening the spark to bring Arsenal to life. That said, his otherwise flawless technique let him down when in front of goal early in the second half.
F. Coquelin
Might see this game as an opportunity missed, with the game passing him by for large chunks. Failed to produce the dynamism brought by Abou Diaby this term but was busy nonetheless
L. Podolski
Affected the game in his usual doggedly-efficient manner, firing home the all-important goal to restore Arsenal's lead. Could have perhaps made more from Gibb's omnipresence on the left byline though only came inside himself on the rare occasion.
A. Oxlade-Chamberlain
Energy in closing down gave all his team-mates a lift early doors but failed to match this initial promise with any concrete product afterwards. A bustling display though probably not one many will remember
Y. Gervinho
Fired home when it mattered before turning provider for the second. Was mobile and elusive throughout, with his directness on the ball obviously unsettling his counterparts. Another strong performance which strengthens his current hold on a centre-forward starting berth.
Olympiakos Piraeus
B. Megyeri
Arguably could have done better for both goals he conceded but that may be tough on the keeper, with both Arsenal goals struck well and on the ground. Otherwise performed reasonably well, commanding his area with authority
K. Manolas
Looked at sixes and sevens whenever Gervinho turned and ran with the ball - which was bizarrely too often given the obvious discomfort it caused him.
D. Siovas
The game bypassed him for large parts, with his role chiefly reduced to work horse in the middle. Opportunities for him to build going forward were few and far between
P. Contreras
Looked unsure of how to deal with the mobile centre-forward play of Gervinho but rarely lost out in aerial battles.
J. Holebas
Was hounded by Oxlade-Chamberlain early on and never looked fully at ease from there on.
D. Diakité
Sturdy defending throughout which was admirable given the manner in which Gibbs threw himself forward.
L. Greco
Quality delivery led to his side capitalising on Arsenal's sloppiness but otherwise effected the game very minimally.
David Fuster
Combative in the middle of the park but the quality of Cazorla and Arteta eventually outshone him as Arsenal took fuller control of the game as it developed.
G. Maniatis
Couple of untidy moments early on were negated by phenomenal work rate as he became side's most influential player.
Paulo Machado
Often found himself in promising positions following Arsenal's laxness though could not muster the composure or technique to make anything of it - particularly when missing a sitter from six yards towards the end of the first half
K. Mitroglou
Very tidy finish with his head right at the end of the first half and was burly and unsettling most of the game. Looked as if he would be the one to drag Olympiakos level again after they went 2-1 down.
A. Ramsey
Short cameo but produced delightful dink to totally kill the game off
O. Giroud
Missed two pretty decent chances to put the game beyond doubt, before flicking on a header to assist Ramsey's effort
T. Walcott
Introduction brought instant energy as his side has begun to slightly flail. Constantly beat his man and produced a few chances during the shrot time he was on
A. Ibagaza
Wasn't in any way able to change the pattern of the game that saw Arsenal emerge as the dominant force towards the end
D. Abdoun
Short cameo at the end but largely recreated the man he replaced, producing little of note down the left and having to concentrate fully on his defensive duties
M. Pantelić
Introduced for the last 10 minutes as Olympiakos sought a way to get back into the game but Arsenal managed to see it out efficiently

The stunningly beautiful Vulcan® 1700 Classic cruiser evokes that certain feeling in riders: one that beckons you aboard with its gorgeous curves and drop-dead custom styling and says "let's ride." It's beautiful from so many angles – from its raked front end to the fat rear fender complemented by a fat rear tire – exemplifying classic boulevard styling. And the deep paintwork, thick chrome and detail touches will rock your world the first time you lay eyeballs upon it.
Packed with Style, Thrumming with Power
The stunningly beautiful Vulcan® 1700 Classic cruiser evokes that certain feeling in riders: one that beckons you aboard with its gorgeous curves and drop-dead custom styling and says "let's ride." It's beautiful from so many angles – from its raked front end to the fat rear fender complemented by a fat rear tire – exemplifying classic boulevard styling. And the deep paintwork, thick chrome and detail touches will rock your world the first time you lay eyeballs upon it.
But the jewel in the crown is the Classic's advanced technology and staggering functionality, led by a 103.7-inch V-twin engine that throbs with power. This a big-inch cruiser with the type of top-shelf performance and reliability that totally backs up its bad-ass boulevard look.
Like its Vulcan 1700 brethren, the Classic's V-twin dominates the proceedings with a thoroughly retro look as well as asphalt-wrinkling output. The heart of the matter is a pair of massive pistons moving within two liquid-cooled but beautifully finned cylinder blocks arrayed at 52 degrees for optimum balance and a distinct V-twin thump. Internal dimensions are thoroughly long-stroke – 102 x 104mm – for mammoth low- and mid-range power, exactly the sort of big-inch thrust and V-twin feel cruiser riders crave.
Working with a powerful ECU and a smart fuel injection system, the electronic throttle valve enhances response without detracting from the engine's distinctive V-twin feel, delivering ultra-precise intake flow to the engine under nearly any conditions.
The system utilizes an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), which feed data to the ECU that adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system offers a natural throttle feel because the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip. The 1700 Classic's fuel injection uses one sensor in place of the usual three for simplicity and weight savings. Besides the obvious advantages of fuel injection, such as improved fuel economy and automatic altitude mixture adjustment, the system also permits easy hands-off warm-up and idle speed control. This cruising-oriented machine features FI and exhaust tuning optimized to deliver peak torque at a lower rpm – ideal for urban or backroad environments.
A quiet and smooth six-speed transmission features overdriven fifth and sixth gears that contribute to more relaxed riding and better fuel economy at highway speeds. The Vulcan 1700 Classic transfers power from the transmission to the rear wheel through a narrow carbon fiber final drive belt with 40-percent higher tensile strength than a Kevlar unit of the same width.
Designed to be as light and slim as possible, the Classic's single backbone double cradle frame offers a short seat-to-steering head distance, with a correspondingly short wheelbase. That easy-reach handlebar facilitates slow-speed maneuvering and helps maximize rider confidence. Adding to the light and easy handling are suspension components matched to the Vulcan 1700 Classic's intended mission. An elegantly simple rear swingarm with twin air-assisted shocks provides 3.1 inches of rear suspension travel, and features air spring preload and four-way rebound adjustment. Up front, a large 43mm fork offers precise steering feedback, a supple ride and 5.5 inches of travel.
The Vulcan 1700 Classic rolls on nine-spoke cast wheels that run fat, tubeless tires – 130/90 front and 170/70 rear – that complement its muscular styling. Dual 300mm front disc brakes featuring twin-piston calipers and a single 300mm rear disc brake with a two-piston caliper help bring this stylish machine to steady, powerful stops.
Packed with technology and blessed with the sort of jaw-dropping looks that'll keep you the envy of your riding buddies, the Vulcan 1700 Classic is the perfect cruising package. Just try not to drool on it.

It is impossible to portrait the metropolitan grandeur of Shibuya's crossing in its panorama of sounds, mouvements and lights. Lights !!!Here are 4986 silent snapshots bonded in a stop motion video. Unfocused or focusing on dizziness.This is a tribute to 1927's silent movie, "Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt" by Walter Ruttmann.

I woo women with my sensuous and god-like trombone playing.
I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru.
When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang-gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire, I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail...
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid.
Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I breed prize-winning clams.

They've been pretty firm about saying that there's only one Hero class coming with this expansion and that they plan on adding more in the future once they figure out how the DK's work.
I mean there's still a chance they're just lying about it, but I really doubt it.
I think they've just hit unfortunate delays left and right. I'm of the opinion that the vast majority of the expansion is probably PTR-worthy, but they've just hit the inevitable "we don't pay well, we get crap code" cycle that hits almost every developer that gets large...
I suppose Blizzard has one or two more interesting surprise out there, but I'm thinking that the majority of the game we're aware of, and it's all just been delayed. They're just keeping quiet because the patch schedule has thrown everything off and they want to keep enough info to themselves to still have something left to use for hype when it gets closer to the beta.

Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
With picture quality that outdoes that of numerous more-expensive TVs, Vizio's E series likely represents the best value of 2014.
Parrot's second-generation Zik weighs significantly less, offers better sound quality and noise-cancelling, and is loaded with features that are customizable via new apps for Android and iOS devices (and Windows devices in the future).
The Sony Xperia Z3 has a beautiful, waterproof design, a 20.7-megapixel camera and can act as a display for your PS4.

Most racing sims are all about getting somewhere quickly, but Forza Horizon 2 is filled with moments where you can enjoy the scenery and culture surrounding the cars.
FIFA 15 is easily the most realistic soccer game out there, even if it at times feels a bit over-the-top.
Even if you aren't a fan of the Tolkien universe, Shadow of Mordor is a great-looking and ultra-satisfying action game filled with remarkable villains and countless memorable moments.
Though it's one of this year's better Android phones on paper, the OnePlus One isn't for everyone, nor is it readily available.
