Everyone has dreams. It is a simple fact of life. Dreams give us direction and keep us moving towards a goal. The problem comes when our dreams simply become that, just a dream. When we don't do anything to achieve them, dreams won't ever come true. Many people have their dreams but are not working towards turning them into reality. If you are wondering how to turn your dreams into real life, here are some ideas that might help.
1. Clearly define your dreams. This is a bit obvious, but it really works. Keeping your dreams vague and undefined releases you from actually having to take a risk and work towards them. Defining your dreams clearly forces you to acknowledge them and deal with them. So take a risk and define your dreams.
2. Plan of Action. Once you have defined your dreams and goals, the next step is to come up with a plan to make them happen. Many people wrongly expect that their dreams will either happen or they won't. Successful people realize that their dreams happen because they make them happen. The way to make your dream happen is to come up with a plan for reaching them. For example, if you want to take a year off of work to travel, there are many intermediary steps that have to happen. You need to save up money, avoid being tied to a house, work out an arrangement with your job, and many other things. Without a definite plan of action, this is a dream that would never happen. However, if you make a plan, this is something that you can actually experience.
3. Take the Risk. The reason that many people do not achieve their dreams is that they are able or ready to take risks. For example, there are risks involved in quitting your day job in order to start your own business. Good planning can minimize these risks, but there is still a point where you have to gather your courage and go for it.
4. Network, Network, and Network Again. Lastly on the road to your dream, you need to be sure to network. It doesn't matter what your dreams are, they cannot be achieved in isolation. If your dream is to start your own business, then you want to talk to other independent business owners to see how they did it. If your dream is to travel then you should talk with other people who gave up their jobs to travel extensively. No matter what your dreams are, someone else has probably done something similar. Nobody has EVER gotten ANYWHERE without someone else helping them. Seeking out people enables you to learn from their mistakes and be encouraged by their successes.

Chapter 10- Out in the Park0 Reviews
Atlanta and Archie finally talk.
Atlanta was so absorbed, watching Archie move as never thought he could, that she was shocked when the dance suddenly ended and the two dancers' bodies were pressed securly together. Their foreheads were connected, they stared into each others eyes.
They split and bowed and walked back stage.
After the next two dances, Atlanta thought she had entered a dream world. Archie didn't dance, and he didn't even know how to spell 'grace'. But he had preformed a flawless tango and a swift hip-hop, which had looked way more his speed. Atlanta sat listening vaguely to the conversation brewing beside her.
"I didn't even know he could run sideways without falling over." Theresa was saying.
"Did you see that tango? THAT was impressive." Jay said admiringly.
Atlanta looked to the stage to see Dani announcing the final dance of the slow dance category. Archie and Sherrice came out to the floor.
"Our final dance of the day is couple 623 dancing a contemporary number to 'Out in the Park' by Sarah Slean. Jake?" He began a staccato on the keyboard and Dani jumped into the lyrics.
Archie and Sherrice began their dance. Sherrice was ina flowy white trapese dress she was dancing as though she was playing, she acted to be terribly off balance. Archie's movements were strict, very formal. He wore a suit. A free-spirit and a stiff.
"She's out in the park,
conducting the birds,
trying to remember which bicycle's hers,
filling her pockets with handfuls of dirt,
ít's amazing,
out in the park."
The story they played through their movement was fantanstic. She made him see the playful side of life. Of course, seeing it did the dance much more justice than any worded explanation.
They finished, both with their backs to each other and their arms outstretched in front of them in a sweeping motion.
They walked off the floor and Dani looked down to the judge who had approached the stage.
After the awards had been given out the six heros walked backstage to see their friend.
Dani came out of a curtained off dressing room, finaly wearing normal make-up and her straightened hair fell over her face. She wore her jeans and a graphic t-shirt. Odie smiled and greeted her with a hug.
Archie and Sherrice were across the room looking at each other angrily. Atlanta wondered what had happened. They had won first place after-all. Had Dani told Archie about what Sherrice was up to?
Archie glanced side ways and saw them all coming over. Sherrice winked at Herry and Dani whispered something in his ear.
"What?!?!" Herry almost yelled. He gave Sherrice a deadly glare, patted Archie on the back muttered a congradulations and left quickly.
Sherrice looked pained and looked at Dani with a hurt look. Dani stared back non-chalantly.
Archie took Atlanta by her shoulder and steered her away from the group.
"I told her to leave." he said after they were alone in a corner.
"Good for you."
"What did you think? I mean, of the dancing?" he said this nervously, like he was expecting rejection.
"It was, very, very, unlike you. But it was fantastic." She admitted.
"I hoped you would like it. I, didn't want to tell you earlier cause, you know, it's ME and DANCING..." he trailed off. "Kinda lame, I guess."
"Not really." she said. "So did Dani tell you? About Sherrice?" she verified in response to a raised eyebrow.
"Naw, she didn't have to. Sherrice..." he trailed off looking over at Sherrice mournfully. "She's been that way for a while. She's like another sister to me. We've known each other since we were kids."
Atlanta nodded. "So... you don't love her?" It was moreso a statement than a question.
Archie shook his head. Then he raised an eyebrow playfully. "Why? Jealous?"
Atlanta sighed. "A little, yeah."
Archie laughed and pulled her into a hug. "Maybe I can teach you to dance sometime."
"You know, I'd actually like that." Atlanta said honestly as Archie kissed the top of her head.

@xaspro - I love WoW too, having been playing since launch day. I especially love WoW when my level 5 alts have four 20-slot bags so I don't have to return to town every 5 minutes. Hell, my recently rolled level 10 warlock has a 32-slot Shard and 32-slot Herbalism bag (as well as 2 obligatory 20-slots). On my server, that's 1100g of bags on a level 10 alt.
So - why should my characters not have these advances that I've EARNED? Sending gold and bags to an alt isn't "abusing the system". It's using the rewards of the system the way they're intended to be used. I take it you don't believe in heirloom gear either, even though it's specifically intended as a method of rewarding high level end-game play.
Lets be honest -- when you know what order to quest in and exactly where to go at what time, you breeze through the content fairly quickly. A couple of 6-slot bags is a severe handicap. It wasn't when we first levelled, didn't know what we were doing, and took hours for a level. But now, intentionally handicapping your progress is fairly stupid.

FAA's Ballough and Sabatini Heading for Retirement
James Ballough, the FAA's long-time director of the Flight Standards Service, has announced that he will retire at the end of the year. Deputy director John Allen will take over after Ballough retires. During his tenure at Flight Standards, Ballough has been involved in such issues as Part 135 operational control; continued airworthiness (maintenance); the re-examination of mechanics who were given oral and practical tests under fraudulent conditions; development of the Sport Pilot and Light Sport Aircraft regulations; and ongoing disputes about AD compliance at Southwest Airlines earlier this year that resulted in a still-unresolved $10.2 million civil penalty, the highest in FAA history. In late October, Nick Sabatini, FAA associate administrator for aviation safety, announced his plan to retire in January. Sabatini's replacement will be Peggy Gilligan, now deputy associate administrator for aviation safety.

Here is what you need to know about drug testing and how to prevent false-positives caused by other substances.
Random drug testing is becoming increasingly popular in the workplace. Airline, railroad, trucking, pipeline, mass transit, and shipping industries do drug tests under US government mandate.
Private companies conduct drug testing to keep health insurance costs down, improve employee productivity, decrease absenteeism, and ensure a safe work environment.
A positive drug test is cause for dismissal in many companies. Most companies that drug test do not hire job candidates who test positive.
Drug testing is also becoming more common in schools. Some private schools use drug testing as a prerequisite for admittance or for participation in athletics or extracurricular activities.
The most common substances being tested for include the following:
Other substances that may be tested for include:
Urine testing is the most popular type of test because it is simple, noninvasive, and highly accurate. A component of marijuana called THC can be detected in the urine. Anabolic steroids can also be detected through urine testing. The ability of the test to detect these substances depends on how much was used and for how long.
Urine drug testing is widely used for testing for opioids and illicit drugs. In the majority of situations, a screening test is used that utilizes an immunoassay, which detects the parent drug and/or metabolite. It usually tests for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, PCP, and amphetamines.
Typically, the screening immunoassay detects the amount of drug present in urine above a predetermined "cutoff" concentration. Thus, a substance may be present, but if the concentration of that drug is below the "cutoff," the result will be negative. For more precise results, the confirmatory urine drug test is done by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry or high-performance liquid chromatography. This test is highly specific and is typically used when testing for the presence of a specific drug is needed.
Hair tests are less susceptible to adulteration than urine tests. Hair provides a semi-permanent record of drug use. Drugs circulating throughout the body cling to the hair as it grows. Therefore, if the drug was taken recently, it will be found in hair near the scalp. If the drug was taken in the past, the drug will be found in hair that has grown out.
Typically, drugs cannot be washed out of the hair. This is in contrast to drugs in smoke, which stick to the hair and can be removed with shampoo. However, products used on the hair might, at times, interfere with test accuracy.
Hair testing has an advantage because it can detect drug use over longer periods of time (usually around 90 days). This test is available for home use.
To test sweat, a bandage-like patch is placed on the upper arm, midriff, or lower back and worn for at least 24 hours to collect sweat. Contaminants from the environment cannot penetrate the adhesive barrier from the outside, so the patch can be worn during normal activities, including bathing and swimming. To prevent tampering, the adhesive plastic film cannot be reapplied once removed. The results cannot be diluted.
Residue tests are typically found in home testing kits that allow parents to test their children. The kit comes with a pad that picks up drug residue by swiping the pad on the child's belongings. The pad then is mailed to the manufacturer for testing. The major flaw with this test is that it cannot determine whether any drug residue found was left by the child under suspicion or by someone else.
Blood tests are the most accurate test, but are not used routinely in the workplace.
A saliva test is a way to detect if someone has been using drugs within the past few days. This type of test can detect many illegal substances, such as heroin and cocaine. But, it may be less reliable in detecting marijuana.
This involves exhaling into a hand-held machine tests for alcohol consumption. Devices are available for home use. There are also disposable devices.
In some cases, a drug test may report the presence of illicit drugs, although none were taken. While this is not very common, no test is 100 percent accurate. Lab errors account for some of the mistakes, but most false-positives may be attributed to over-the-counter drugs and foods that can affect the test. Below are some examples.
*Large amounts of poppy seeds—for example, a pastry filled with poppy seeds—would need to be consumed to cause a positive test. However, sophisticated testing can discern poppy seeds from opiates.
**Hemp oil is eaten for its supposed nutritional benefits.
If you are mistakenly found positive for drug use, evaluate whether you have taken any substances known to cause false-positives.

This is a part of the rsyslog.conf - documentation.back
Templates are a key feature of rsyslog. They allow to specify any format a user might want. They are also used for dynamic file name generation. Every output in rsyslog uses templates - this holds true for files, user messages and so on. The database writer expects its template to be a proper SQL statement - so this is highly customizable too. You might ask how does all of this work when no templates at all are specified. Good question ;) The answer is simple, though. Templates compatible with the stock syslogd formats are hardcoded into rsyslogd. So if no template is specified, we use one of these hardcoded templates. Search for "template_" in syslogd.c and you will find the hardcoded ones.
Templates are specified by template() statements. They can also be specified via $Template legacy statements. Note that these are scheduled for removal in later versions of rsyslog, so it is probably a good idea to avoid them for new uses.
The template() statement
The template() statement is used to define templates. Note that it is a static statement, that means all templates are defined when rsyslog reads the config file. As such, templates are not affected by if-statements or config nesting.
The basic structure of the template statement is as follows:
In addition to this simpler syntax, list templates (to be described below) support an extended syntax:
template(parameters) { list-descriptions }
Each template has a parameter name, which specifies the templates name, and a parameter type, which specifies the template type. The name parameter must be unique, and behaviour is unpredictable if it is not. The type parameter specifies different template types. Different types simply enable different ways to specify the template content. The template type does not affect what an (output) plugin can do with it. So use the type that best fits your needs (from a config writing point of view!). The following types are available:
- list
- subtree
- string
- plugin
In this case, the template is generated by a list of constant and variable statements. These follow the template spec in curly braces. This type is also primarily meant for use with structure-aware outputs, like ommongodb. However, it also works perfectly with text-based outputs. We recommend to use this mode if more complex property substitutions needs to be done. In that case, the list-based template syntax is much clearer than the simple string-based one.
The list template contains the template header (with type="list") and is followed by constant and property statements, given in curly braces to signify the template statement they belong to. As the name says, constant statements describe constant text and property describes property access. There are many options to property, described further below. Most of these options are used to extract only partial property contents or to modify the text obtained (like to change its case to upper or lower case, only).
To grasp the idea, an actual sample is:
template(name="tpl1" type="list") {
constant(value="Syslog MSG is: '")
constant(value="', ")
property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339" caseConversion="lower")
This sample is probably primarily targeted at the usual file-based output.
constant statement
This provides a way to specify constant text. The text is used literally. It is
primarily intended for text-based output, so that some constant text can be included. For
example, if a complex template is build for file output, one usually needs to finish it
by a newline, which can be introduced by a constant statement. Here is an actual sample
of that use case from the rsylsog testbench:
The following escape sequences are recogniced inside the constant text:
template(name="outfmt" type="list") {
- \\ - single backslash
- \n - LF
- \ooo - (three octal digits) - represents character with this numerical value (e.g. \101 equals "A"). Note that three octal digits must be given (in contrast to some languagues, where between one and three are valid). While we support octal notation, we recommend to use hex notation as this is better known.
- \xhh - (where h is a hex digit) - represents character with this numerical value (e.g. \x41 equals "A"). Note that two hexadecimal digits must be given (in contrast to some languagues where one or two are valid).
- ... some others ... list needs to be extended
Note: if an unsupported character follows a backslash, this is treated as an error. Behaviour is unpredictable in this case.
To aid usage of the same template both for text-based outputs and structured ones, constant
text without an "outname" parameter will be ignored when creating the name/value tree
for structured outputs. So if you want to supply some constant text e.g. to mongodb, you must
include an outname, as can be seen here:
The "constant" statement supports the following parameters:
template(name="outfmt" type="list") {
constant(value="\n" outname="IWantThisInMyDB")
- value - the constant value to use
- outname - output field name (for structured outputs)
property statement
This statement is used to include property text. It can access all properties. Also, options permit to specify picking only part of a property or modifying it. It supports the following parameters:
- name - the name of the property to access
- outname - output field name (for structured outputs)
- dateformat - date format to use (only for date-related properties)
- caseconversion - permits to convert case of the text. supported values are "lower" and "upper"
- controlcharacters - specifies how to handle control characters. Supported values are "escape", which escapes them, "space", which replaces them by a single space, and "drop", which simply removes them from the string.
- securepath - used for creating pathnames suitable for use in dynafile templates
- format - specifiy format on a field basis. Supported values are:
- position.from - obtain substring starting from this position (1 is the first position)
- position.to - obtain substring up to this position
- position.relativeToEnd - the from and to position is relative to the end of the string instead of the usual start of string. (available since rsyslog v7.3.10)
- field.number - obtain this field match
- field.delimiter - decimal value of delimiter character for field extraction
- regex.expression - expression to use
- regex.type - either ERE or BRE
- regex.nomatchmode - what to do if we have no match
- regex.match - match to use
- regex.submatch - submatch to use
- droplastlf - drop a trailing LF, if it is present
- mandatory - signifies a field as mandatory. If set to "on", this field will always be present in data passed to structured outputs, even if it is empty. If "off" (the default) empty fields will not be passed to structured outputs. This is especially useful for outputs that support dynamic schemas (like ommongodb).
- spifno1stsp - expert options for RFC3164 template processing
Available since rsyslog 7.1.4
In this case, the template is generated based on a complete (CEE) subtree. This type of template is most useful for outputs that know how to process hierarchical structure, like ommongodb. With that type, the parameter subtree must be specified, which tells which subtree to use. For example template(name="tpl1" type="subtree" subtree="$!") includes all CEE data, while template(name="tpl2" type="subtree" subtree="$!usr!tpl2") includes only the subtree starting at $!usr!tpl2. The core idea when using this type of template is that the actual data is prefabricated via set and unset script statements, and the resulting strucuture is then used inside the template. This method MUST be used if a complete subtree needs to be placed directly into the object's root. With all other template types, only subcontainers can be generated. Note that subtree type can also be used with text-based outputs, like omfile. HOWEVER, you do not have any capability to specify constant text, and as such cannot include line breaks. As a consequence, using this template type for text outputs is usually only useful for debugging or very special cases (e.g. where the text is interpreted by a JSON parser later on).
Use case
A typical use case is to first create a custom subtree and then include it into
the template, like in this small example:
set $!usr!tpl2!msg = $msg;
set $!usr!tpl2!dataflow = field($msg, 58, 2);
template(name="tpl2" type="subtree" subtree="$!usr!tpl2")
Here, we assume that $msg contains various fields, and the data from a field is to be extracted and stored - together with the message - as field content.
This closely resembles the legacy template statement. It
has a mandatory parameter string, which holds the template string to be
applied. A template string is a mix of constant text and replacement variables
(see property replacer). These variables are taken from message or other dynamic
content when the final string to be passed to a plugin is generated. String-based
templates are a great way to specify textual content, especially if no complex
manipulation to properties is necessary. Full details on how to specify template
text can be found below.
Config example:
template(name="tpl3" type="string" string="%TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n")
pluginIn this case, the template is generated by a plugin (which is then called a "strgen" or "string generator"). The format is fix as it is coded. While this is inflexible, it provides superior performance, and is often used for that reason (not that "regular" templates are slow - but in very demanding environments that "last bit" can make a difference). Refer to the plugin's documentation for further details. For this type, the paramter plugin must be specified and must contain the name of the plugin as it identifies itself. Note that the plugin must be loaded prior to being used inside a template.
Config example:
template(name="tpl4" type="plugin" plugin="mystrgen")
optionsThe <options> part is optional. It carries options influencing the template as whole and is part of the template parameters. See details below. Be sure NOT to mistake template options with property options - the latter ones are processed by the property replacer and apply to a SINGLE property, only (and not the whole template).
Template options are case-insensitive. Currently defined are:
option.sql - format the string suitable for a SQL
statement in MySQL format. This will replace single quotes ("'") and
the backslash character by their backslash-escaped counterpart ("\'"
and "\\") inside each field. Please note that in MySQL configuration,
mode must be turned off for this format to work (this is the default).
option.stdsql - format the string suitable for a
SQL statement that is to be sent to a standards-compliant sql server.
This will replace single quotes ("'") by two single quotes ("''")
inside each field. You must use stdsql together with MySQL if in MySQL
configuration the
NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES is
turned on.
option.json - format the string suitable for a json statement. This will replace single quotes ("'") by two single quotes ("''") inside each field.
At no time, multiple template option should be used. This can cause unpredictable behaviour and is against all logic.
Either the sql or stdsql
option must be specified when a template is used
for writing to a database, otherwise injection might occur. Please note
that due to the unfortunate fact that several vendors have violated the
sql standard and introduced their own escape methods, it is impossible
to have a single option doing all the work. So you yourself
must make sure you are using the right format. If you choose
the wrong one, you are still vulnerable to sql injection.
Please note that the database writer *checks* that the sql option is present in the template. If it is not present, the write database action is disabled. This is to guard you against accidental forgetting it and then becoming vulnerable to SQL injection. The sql option can also be useful with files - especially if you want to import them into a database on another machine for performance reasons. However, do NOT use it if you do not have a real need for it - among others, it takes some toll on the processing time. Not much, but on a really busy system you might notice it ;)
The default template for the write to database action has the
sql option set. As we currently support only MySQL and the sql option
matches the default MySQL configuration, this is a good choice.
However, if you have turned on
NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES in
your MySQL config, you need to supply a template with the stdsql
option. Otherwise you will become vulnerable to SQL injection.
To escape:
% = \%
\ = \\ --> '\' is used to escape (as in C)
template (name="TraditionalFormat" type="string" string="%timegenerated% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%%msg%\n"
Standard Template for Writing to Files
template(name="FileFormat" type="list") {
property(name="timestamp" dateFormat="rfc3339")
constant(value=" ")
constant(value=" ")
constant(value=" ")
property(name="msg" spifno1stsp="on" )
property(name="msg" droplastlf="on" )
The equivalent string template looks like this:
Note that the template string itself must be on a single line.
template(name="FileFormat" type="string"
string= "%TIMESTAMP% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"
Standard Template for Forwarding to a Remote Host (RFC3164 mode)
template(name="ForwardFormat" type="list") {
property(name="timestamp" dateFormat="rfc3339")
constant(value=" ")
constant(value=" ")
property(name="syslogtag" position.from="1" position.to="32")
constant(value=" ")
property(name="msg" spifno1stsp="on" )
The equivalent string template looks like this:
Note that the template string itself must be on a single line.
template(name="forwardFormat" type="string"
string="<%PRI%>%TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag:1:32%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg%"
Standard Template for write to the MySQL database
template(name="StdSQLformat" type="list" option.sql="on") {
constant(value="insert into SystemEvents (Message, Facility, FromHost, Priority, DeviceReportedTime, ReceivedAt, InfoUnitID, SysLogTag)")
constant(value=" values ('")
constant(value="', ")
constant(value=", '")
constant(value="', ")
constant(value=", '")
property(name="timereported" dateFormat="mysql")
constant(value="', '")
property(name="timegenerated" dateFormat="mysql")
constant(value="', ")
constant(value=", '")
The equivalent string template looks like this:
Note that the template string itself must be on a single line.
template(name="stdSQLformat" type="string" option.sql="on"
string="insert into SystemEvents (Message, Facility, FromHost, Priority, DeviceReportedTime, ReceivedAt, InfoUnitID, SysLogTag) values ('%msg%', %syslogfacility%, '%HOSTNAME%', %syslogpriority%, '%timereported:::date-mysql%', '%timegenerated:::date-mysql%', %iut%, '%syslogtag%')"
legacy format
In pre v6-versions of rsyslog, you need to use the
statement to configure templates. They provide the equivalent to string- and
plugin-based templates. The legacy syntax continous to work in v7, however
we recommend to avoid legacy format for newly written config files. Legacy and
current config statements can coexist within the same config file.
The general format is
$template name,param[,options]
where "name" is the template name and "param" is a single parameter
that specifies template content. The optional "options" part is used to
set template options.
stringThe parameter is the same string that with the current-style format you specify in the string parameter, for example:
$template strtpl,"PRI: %pri%, MSG: %msg%\n"
Note that list templates are not available in legacy format, so you need to use complex property replacer constructs to do complex things.
pluginThis is equivalent to the "plugin"-type template directive. Here, the parameter is the plugin name, with an equal sign prepended. An example is:
$template plugintpl,=myplugin
Reserved Template Names
Template names beginning with "RSYSLOG_" are reserved for rsyslog use. Do NOT use them if, otherwise you may receive a conflict in the future (and quite unpredictable behaviour). There is a small set of pre-defined templates that you can use without the need to define it:
- RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat - the "old style" default log file format with low-precision timestamps
- RSYSLOG_FileFormat - a modern-style logfile format similar to TraditionalFileFormat, buth with high-precision timestamps and timezone information
- RSYSLOG_TraditionalForwardFormat - the traditional forwarding format with low-precision timestamps. Most useful if you send messages to other syslogd's or rsyslogd below version 3.12.5.
- RSYSLOG_SysklogdFileFormat - sysklogd compatible log file format. If used with options: $SpaceLFOnReceive on; $EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive off; $DropTrailingLFOnReception off, the log format will conform to sysklogd log format.
- RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat - a new high-precision forwarding format very similar to the traditional one, but with high-precision timestamps and timezone information. Recommended to be used when sending messages to rsyslog 3.12.5 or above.
- RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format - the format specified in IETF's internet-draft ietf-syslog-protocol-23, which is assumed to be come the new syslog standard RFC. This format includes several improvements. The rsyslog message parser understands this format, so you can use it together with all relatively recent versions of rsyslog. Other syslogd's may get hopelessly confused if receiving that format, so check before you use it. Note that the format is unlikely to change when the final RFC comes out, but this may happen.
- RSYSLOG_DebugFormat - a special format used for troubleshooting property problems. This format is meant to be written to a log file. Do not use for production or remote forwarding.
The following is legacy documentation soon to be integrated.
Starting with 5.5.6, there are actually two different types of template:
- string based
- string-generator module based
String-generator module based templates have been introduced in 5.5.6. They permit a string generator, actually a C "program", the generate a format. Obviously, it is more work required to code such a generator, but the reward is speed improvement. If you do not need the ultimate throughput, you can forget about string generators (so most people never need to know what they are). You may just be interested in learning that for the most important default formats, rsyslog already contains highly optimized string generators and these are called without any need to configure anything. But if you have written (or purchased) a string generator module, you need to know how to call it. Each such module has a name, which you need to know (look it up in the module doc or ask the developer). Let's assume that "mystrgen" is the module name. Then you can define a template for that strgen in the following way:
template(name="MyTemplateName" type="plugin" string="mystrgen")
Legacy example:
(Of course, you must have first loaded the module via $ModLoad).
$template MyTemplateName,=mystrgen
The important part is the equal sign in the legacy format: it tells the rsyslog config parser that no string follows but a strgen module name.
There are no additional parameters but the module name supported. This is because there is no way to customize anything inside such a "template" other than by modifying the code of the string generator.
So for most use cases, string-generator module based templates are not the route to take. Usually, we use string based templates instead. This is what the rest of the documentation now talks about.
A template consists of a template directive, a name, the actual template text and optional options. A sample is:
template(name="MyTemplateName" type="string" string="Example: Text %property% some more text\n" options)
Legacy example:
$template MyTemplateName,"\7Text
%property% some more text\n",<options>
The "template" (legacy: $template) is the template directive. It tells rsyslog that this line contains a template. "MyTemplateName" is the template name. All other config lines refer to this name. The text within "string" is the actual template text. The backslash is an escape character, much as it is in C. It does all these "cool" things. For example, \7 rings the bell (this is an ASCII value), \n is a new line. C programmers and perl coders have the advantage of knowing this, but the set in rsyslog is a bit restricted currently.
All text in the template is used literally, except for things
within percent signs. These are properties and allow you access to the
contents of the syslog message. Properties are accessed via the
property replacer
(nice name, huh) and it can do cool things, too. For
example, it can pick a substring or do date-specific formatting. More
on this is below, on some lines of the property replacer.
Properties can be accessed by the property replacer (see there for details).
Templates can be used in the form of a list as well. This has been introduced with 6.5.0 The list consists of two parts which are either a constant or a property. The constants are taking the part of "text" that you usually enter in string-based templates. The properties stay variable, as they are a substitute for different values of a certain type. This type of template is extremely useful for complicated cases, as it helps you to easily keep an overview over the template. Though, it has the disadvantage of needing more effort to create it.
Config example:
template(name="MyTemplate" type="list" option.json="off") {
constant(value="Test: ")
property(name="msg" outname="mymessage")
constant(value=" --!!!-- ")
property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339" caseConversion="lower")
First, the general template option will be defined. The values of the template itself get defined in the curly brackets. As it can be seen, we have constants and properties in exchange. Whereas constants will be filled with a value and probably some options, properties do direct to a property and the options that could be needed additional format definitions.
We suggest to use separate lines for all constants and properties. This helps to keep a good overview over the different parts of the template. Though, writing it in a single line will work, it is much harder to debug if anything goes wrong with the template.
Please note that templates can also be used to generate selector lines with dynamic file names. For example, if you would like to split syslog messages from different hosts to different files (one per host), you can define the following template:
template (name="DynFile" type="string" string="/var/log/system-%HOSTNAME%.log")
Legacy example:
This template can then be used when defining an output selector line. It will result in something like "/var/log/system-localhost.log"
Legacy String-based Template Samples
This section provides some default templates in legacy format, as used in rsyslog previous to version 6. Note that this format is still supported, so there is no hard need to upgrade existing configurations. However, it is strongly recommended that the legacy constructs are not used when crafting new templates. Note that each $Template statement is on a single line, but probably broken accross several lines for display purposes by your browsers. Lines are separated by empty lines. Keep in mind, that line breaks are important in legacy format.
$template FileFormat,"%TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"
$template TraditionalFileFormat,"%TIMESTAMP% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"
$template ForwardFormat,"<%PRI%>%TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag:1:32%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg%"
$template TraditionalForwardFormat,"<%PRI%>%TIMESTAMP% %HOSTNAME% %syslogtag:1:32%%msg:::sp-if-no-1st-sp%%msg%"
$template StdSQLFormat,"insert into SystemEvents (Message, Facility, FromHost, Priority, DeviceReportedTime, ReceivedAt, InfoUnitID, SysLogTag) values ('%msg%', %syslogfacility%, '%HOSTNAME%', %syslogpriority%, '%timereported:::date-mysql%', '%timegenerated:::date-mysql%', %iut%, '%syslogtag%')",SQL

UNDATED (WSAU) A jury has awarded a million dollars to a former couple from Madison, who accused therapists of creating false memories in their daughter that they sexually abused her. The jury heard two weeks of testimony in a case against therapists Jeff Hollowell, Kay Phillips, and Tim Reisenauer. A Dane County jury deliberated 10 hours before finding Hollowell 70-percent negligent early yesterday. Phillips was ruled 30-percent, and Reisenauer was found not to be negligent.
Doctors Charles and Karen Johnson were accused by their daughter Charlotte of raping her, trying to drown her, and experimenting with infanticide. The Johnsons now live in Saint Louis. Their attorney, Bill Smoler, called the allegations "outrageous," and the parents feel vindicated after the jury's verdict.
Smoler said Charlotte Johnson had a controversial procedure which tries to help patients reclaim memories that have been suppressed. Smoler said juries have previously found it was not a valid treatment. The therapists have not commented.

Any suggestions for a future 3-Bet, feel free to drop a note in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find Phil Hellmuth getting hit with an unexpected panic attack, New York Times election guru Nate Silver getting some hands in at the 2013 Aussie Millions and the Flying Dutchman Marcel Luske releasing the victory balloons after a Sunday Warm-Up win.
1) Hellmuth Wiped Out Post-WSOPE, Has Panic Attack
After becoming the only man to ever win both the WSOP and WSOPE main events, a frenetic schedule led Phil Hellmuth into some sort of panicked stupor, he says in a new interview.
Overseas this past week for the WPT's debut event in China, Hellmuth chatted with CalvinAyre.com's Tatjana Pasalic and explained how spreading himself thin came back to bite him:
"After the WSOPE I got a little bit sick. Not physically, mentally exhausted. Tried to do something crazy. Was up till 4 a.m, started drinking on the early flight around noon, MC'd Eva Longoria's tournament, that's like 7-8 hours on the mic.
"That was Saturday. Sunday flew into LA, gave John Legend a private lesson, he's a really cool rock star; and then MC'd Bill Clinton's event. At that point, I was exhausted.
"Then I had to fly to Chicago by Tuesday, I played poker with a bunch of billionaires from there – lost a bit! A really fun group and then I MC'd their event, another eight hours on the mic. That's when I hit the wall and it was just…I can't do this to myself.
"I ended up having a panic attack a month later. Panic attacks are not fun."
It's not clear why it took a month to kick in but his fans can rest assured a lot of rest since - including two hours of TV a day - has Hellmuth back feeling shipshape again. Check the full interview here.
2) Prognostication Guru Nate Silver Gets Back to Poker Roots
After an incredible rise to political stardom this fall, New York Times blogger Nate Silver is taking some time off in January to get back to his other favorite pasttime - playing poker.
Correctly predicting the vote in all 50 states and virtually guaranteeing an Obama win beforehand, Silver deservedly became America's golden boy. From high-profile media appearances to skyrocketing sales of his new book, it's assuredly been a whirlwind for the former baseball stat geek and online poker grinder.
In an interview with the Australian Financial Review, Silver says he plans to take a breather from political prognosis and hit up the 2013 Aussie Millions for some poker R&R.
In preparation he's been hitting the tables in Atlantic City to make sure he's adjusted his playing algorithm to the proper frequency:
"I went to Atlantic City last weekend and played in a small tournament so I'm trying to take this pretty seriously . . . I busted out pretty early and lost but I was happy with how I played. And I've been reading a lot of books and developing strategy because the game is changing how it is played."
"It's become much more sophisticated and aggressive. It's really a battle of wits. The nice thing about poker, if you have a theory about how a hand is going to play out you can put your chips on the line."
Read the full piece here.
3) Flying Dutchman Chops Sunday Warm-Up for $75k
Wondering what everyone's favorite novelty-sunglass-wearing singing Dutchman (apologies, Rolf Slotboom) has been up to lately?
Former WSOP camera-fav Marcel Luske has been keeping his chops up online, apparently, and the work paid off with a four-way chop in yesterday's Sunday Warm-Up on PokerStars.
The $75k score looks to be Luske's largest since a runner-up finish at ITP Nova Gorica in 2010.
Somewhere in Holland, we imagine the victory balloons released (ideally 99 of them) and Luske's Poker Song queued up for an extended spin on the juke box. Raise 'em up!

Donald Driver – you know the guy – the Green Bay Packers' all-time leading receiver who caught more than 700 passes for more than 10,000 yards, is probably the most well-loved of all players who's ever donned the Green and Gold.
After a tumultuous fourteenth season that saw his role diminished to near nothing, Driver and the Packers have decisions to make. No doubt the Packers decision will be swift and calculated – they will cut ties with the 14-year veteran who has said he wants to play until he's 40 and maybe beyond. Sheer numbers and younger talent ahead of him have made it an impossibility for him to ever play for the Packers again, so the decision on his future comes down to a personal one by Driver.
Will he want to hang them up at this time, relishing in a storied career in Green Bay or will he want to explore the possibilities with another team? Either way, it's highly unlikely that Driver will ever be viewed as a "traitor" as was Brett Favre who retired and came back a couple of times, ending his career in Minnesota.
It's a difficult decision for Driver, as he's admitted.
Maybe you've seen this video from his television program "Inside the Huddle," maybe you haven't. It's worth a look.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The stringy guy in the No. 9 jersey didn't seem confused or timid. Clint Trickett's first practice at West Virginia only validated what coach Dana Holgorsen expected when he brought in the transfer from Florida State.
"He's good. He's seasoned. He doesn't get nervous," Holgorsen said. "You can tell he's got some game experience."
Because Trickett had two months of seven-on-seven workouts to grow acclimated to WVU's system, it's no surprise he looked comfortable on opening day of fall camp. Though he also looked exceedingly fragile. Looking at his skinny frame, it's hard to fathom that Trickett added 16 pounds this summer (which still leaves him 39 behind Paul Millard and 54 shy of Ford Childress). But to Holgorsen, the zip in Trickett's arm and the processing power in his head counts for much more than the narrowness of his shoulders.
That puts the newcomer on equal footing as he competes to become the next in Holgorsen's line of exemplary quarterbacks.
"(Trickett) threw the ball well, and for a guy who was having his very first practice here, I thought he did well," Holgorsen said. "Again, I'm not judging the specific throws or checks or any of that. I'm just watching them operate. I'm watching them getting the signals and communicating it to the offensive line, and executing the play to where it resembles football, and I thought he did alright there."
Childress is a sturdy 6-foot-5 redshirt freshman with a big arm and big genes—his dad Ray was a defensive wrecking ball at Texas A&M before becoming a Pro Bowler with the Oilers. The 6-2 Millard averaged more than 400 yards passing per game as a high school senior in Texas and spent the past two seasons making cameos behind Geno Smith.
And now Holgorsen welcomes in Trickett, who understudied a couple of NFL quarterbacks himself at FSU and may have escaped the shadow of a third with this summer's relocation.
What stood out about Trickett's first practice at Mountaineer Field?
"His presence," Holgorsen said. "You throw a guy in there who is taking snaps in our offense for the first time, and if there is hesitation and panic—nervousness, lack of communication and all that stuff—then we've got a little bit of an issue. I knew he would handle that well. That's not something I'm concerned with, with him, just by the calmness that he possesses.
"Ford and Paul possess that calmness right now, too, because they understand what's going on around them. I think Clint can get in the mix to be the guy, because he has that in his personality."

Ford childress should start he may be a hair behind trickett but to think trickett is enough to make a big difference is unrealistic.At most he may win one more game but the experience childress would gain from starting a whole year would definitely make us strong for next season along with the emerging shell at running back
Clint is a good kid. He has a good, but not great arm. He is very bright. He is not mobile and can be knocked down in a strong wind.
His dad is the OL coach at FSU and is probably the main reason that he played at a major program. He is probably best suited at a Division 1AA school (eg. App. State, Richmond). I hope that he succeeds, however I think that his lack of athleticism will hold him back at this level.
I said the same thing as Ricardo once. However, I know that Holgersen is a great QB coach so he will do what ever is the best for the team. As I said above, I never want to see another Mountaineer take a hit like Pat White. Stay healthy, all of you.
I said it once, and I'll say it again. If you are deciding between a freshman and a junior, and they are close, or equal in skill, you give the nod to the freshman. That decision will be your championship decision...Maybe even next season! You can't keep acclimating new QBs and win a championship!!
Look at him in The Picture beside Dana,and Dana is a small Man. Trickett look likes a Child,and they say he has gained 20lbs. He can't an won't last the season. But i still want him to start so we can put this move to bed.
Listen Pat White was used for a different style of offense. He was meant to play under Rich Rod and that showed when Bill Stewart took over. Clint isn't expected to use his feet unless he can extend a play or a drive. He's a smart kid and he'll take control like he's expected to.
Pat White got knocked out on the sidelines in a Dolphin game. When I saw that I thought he was dead. Sure do not want to see anything similar with Trickett. I pray he stays healthy also. May the best QB win.

Tan, Cadence's CEO and a longtime and successful venture capitalist, said he's "doubled and tripled down" on investments in the silicon business.
Three unusual reasons, he said during his Visionary Talk at the 50th Design Automation Conference here.
Triple drivers
Tan said it's rare to have two major system drivers affecting the design chain, but it can happen. However, today there are actually three.
First, there's the growth of mobile phones. The smartphone market is estimated at 1.5 billion units, while mobile phone sales are 5 billion, Tan said. That means there's an upside of 3x or 4x for smartphones, which are generally more costly and more profitable for both systems makers and semiconductor providers.
In addition, another aspect of the mobile world is growing rapidly. Sales of the iPad are growing three times as fast as those of Apple's iPhone, Tan said.
"There's a third cycle coming up. It's something I'm most excited about: It's wearable, drivable, flyable and scannable" technologies, he said.
He held out as examples the GoPro portable camera that Tan has invested in, as well as Google Glass.
Scannable technologies leveraging mobile platforms (think more than just bar code readers) are growing 4x each month in China, Tan said.
As we move deeper into the era of big data, that means big opportunity for electronics, he said. More than 500 million digital photos are uploaded every day, while 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute to YouTube, Tan said. Mobile traffic is growing 1.5x per year, he added.
Opportunities and challenges
With these technology transformations come challenges too, he acknowledged.
Hardware-software co-design and co-verification and scalable IP are crucial to getting products to market more quickly. And FinFET / 3D-IC technologies-that will enable continued scaling and power management--are exciting but still relatively young.
"I've doubled and tripled down on semiconductor investment," Tan told the DAC audience. "I told my partners you guys can do Internet and the mobile social media. I'm going to focus on building up the semiconductor industry. If the industry grows, we're all going to benefit. It's something I'm very passionate about."
Tan added, "I talked to my friends who back a bunch of social media, hot IPOs in software-as-service and they say 'Lip-Bu, continue what you need to do because we need to build on top of that. If you stop innovating, we are dead.'"

The "World's Most Beloved Myth" Cookies
Sometime during high school (back when AOL charged a nickel a minute, if that gives you any indication), there was a chain email that got quite a bit of circulation. It was about Neiman Marcus' famous chocolate chip cookies. The story went that a woman was out to lunch, had the cookie, and loved it so much that she asked the waitress for the recipe. The waitress refused. The woman then offered to pay for the recipe, and the waitress accepted, saying the recipe was "two fifty." Thinking the waitress meant $2.50, the woman accepted. Only later did she find out that the recipe was really $250, and--get this--Neiman Marcus (THE THIEVES!!) told her there was no way she was getting her money back. She exacted her revenge by circulating the recipe for free all over the interwebs (which is what we called it back in the mid-late 90's).
What a great story. If only it were true.
I did make this recipe for the first time in high school. The pull of chocolate chips and instant coffee were too much for me and my friend Kali. I am surprised that I still remember us making these cookies in particular (we were in Kali's kitchen, making them far larger than they're supposed to be), but I guess that's the mark of a great recipe. If you still remember the first time the cookie passed your lips (at least 12 years ago), it's a keeper.
Neiman Marcus' Famous Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (from Neiman Marcus)
-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
-1 cup light brown sugar
-3 tablespoons granulated sugar
-1 large egg
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder (**Or just regular instant coffee powder.**)
-1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)
2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
4. (**Note: I'm changing to my original recipe's instructions here.**) Drop balls by the large spoonful onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes for a softer cookie, or 10-12 minutes for a crispier cookie.
-Makes about 15-18 hefty cookies.

May 19 2012: All of the problems and crises in society today-in economics, politics, business, government, education, ecology etc-all share the exact same root cause in common. We are piece-meal treating the symptoms of the crises instead of examining the systems and laws of nature as an integral whole of which humanity is a part, where we find the common causal root that requires our attention. This piece-meal symptomatic treatment is why all of these problems and crises continue to appear and grow with no solutions on the horizon, and even worse, forecasts of 100% depletion and possible extinction. Sciences would be used for building the needed explanation bridges during the TEDTalk. If humanity, in all levels of society, begins together to apply efforts that focus on mending the gap found at this root cause, we would more quickly come back into balance with nature, and turn from managing crises to building and growing a world that thrives in balance and harmony, and where each and every person flourishes.

Nashville Restaurants and Food
Riddim n' Spice at Tomato Arts Fest
The folks at Riddim n Spice food truck were serving up their Caribbean tacos on Saturday at Tomato Arts Festival. They're still working on securing a brick and mortar location in Five Points, where the Edgefield restaurant used to be. If they can get it going, it will be a great fit for East Nashville. The smoked jerk chicken taco is a fun combination of lively flavors and fresh ingredients. Caribbean salsas go especially well in a taco. They also have a vegan version with seitan. The Veggie Eater loved the sweet heat with a strong after burn. Grilled corn and kidney beans go well on tacos.
You may know the Riddim n Spice family. Mom, Ouida Bradshaw, owns Jamaicaway at the Farmer's Market. Her son, Kamal Kalokoh, runs Riddim n Spice. We hope the foray into a permanent spot works out. Having another veggie friendly restaurant in East Nashville would be great. In the meantime, follow the food truck on their web page and connect to Twitter and Facebook feeds.
And a note of congratulations to the Tomato Arts Fest organizers. It was much bigger and even better this year. We especially enjoyed the beer zone street. Tomato Arts Fest is one of Nashville's best festivals.
