Parsing Stack Traces¶
addr2line is a utility to translate addresses into filenames and line numbers.
addr2line -e mongod -ifC <offset>
Finding the Right Binary¶
To find the correct binary for a specific log you need to:
- Get the commit from the header of the logs.
- Use git to locate that commit and check for the surrounding "version bump" commit.
- Download and open the binary:
curl -O http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debugsymbols-1.x.x.tgz
You can also get the debugsymbols archive for official builds through the Downloads page. In the Archived Releases section, click on the appropriate platform link to view the available archives. Select the appropriate debug symbols archive.
Example: Reading the Log¶
Note that the log has lines like this:
/home/abc/mongod(_ZN5mongo15printStackTraceERSo+0x27) [0x689280]
You want to use the address in between the brackets 0x689280. Note that you will get more than one stack frame for the address if the code is inlined.
Example: Using addr2line¶
Actual example from a v1.8.1 64-bit Linux build:
$ curl http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debugsymbols-1.8.1.tgz > out.tgz
$ tar -xzf out.tgz
$ cd mongodb-linux-x86_64-debugsymbols-1.8.1/
$ cd bin
$ addr2line --help
$ addr2line -i -e mongod 0x6d6a74
$ addr2line -i -e mongod 0x6d0694

What the judges said: Cumbria Life Food & Drink Awards 2013
Last updated at 12:20, Tuesday, 05 February 2013
The best food and drink in Cumbria was celebrated at the Cumbria Life Food and Drink Awards, and we can now reveal what the judges said about the winners.
A glitzy ceremony hosted by TV and radio personality Stuart Maconie was held at Kendal College, and the best places to eat and drink in Cumbria, as well as the best products, producers and personalities were acknowledged.
Simon Rogan's 'world class' (and world famous) L'Enclume at Cartmel won the coveted Judges' Special Award Restaurant of the Year, with Cumbria Life Restaurant of the Year going to The Drunken Duck in Ambleside.
See below for the full list of Cumbrian award winners and why they were chosen by the judges.
Best Farm Shop
Kitridding Farm, nr Kirkby Lonsdale
Judges said: "This is an excellent farm shop whose owners offer a consistent product, day in and day out right there on their farm. It's a popular destination and their café is packed out for Sunday lunch. What they are doing is superb."
*Runner up – Tebay Services Farm Shops
Best Specialist Retailer
Shill's of Station Street, Cockermouth
Judges said: "This place may be small but it is perfectly formed with Cumbrian chocolates, an interesting cheese counter, and locally made products which aren't available elsewhere and has a very good wine section run by the knowledgeable owner.
The shop was packed and the experience was good fun. Altogether it was a real joy to visit."
Runners up – Tebay Services Farm Shops, The Moody Baker Co-operative, Alston
Best Café/Tea Shop
Canteen Baba Ganoush, Kendal
Judges said: "This place is of a standard that you would expect to find in a trendy part of London with a combination of excellent service and really good food. With the husband and wife owners each specialising in main courses and desserts, they're a great team. They've stuck their necks out and the offer is not just good, it's extraordinary."
*Runners up – The Filling Station, Keswick, Sun Cottage Café, Hawkshead, The Coffee Kitchen, Cockermouth
Best Small Producer
Appleby Creamery, Appleby
Judges said: "There is something uniquely Cumbrian and understated about this business – they are at a very basic level of operation, not pushing themselves forward, yet easily commanding a national level of acclaim and recognition. This is not just because of the wonderful product but because the people behind it are knowledgeable, experienced, a very good team with strong integrity and strong connection to their local economy."
*Runners up – Staff of Life, Kendal, Arête Enterprises, HMP Haverigg
Best Large Producer
Lakes Speciality Foods, Staveley
Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley (Joint winners)
Of Lakes Speciality Foods, judges said: "This is simply one of the best companies in the area. It has kept going and thrived despite everything that has been thrown at Cumbria over the last few years."
Of Hawkshead Brewery, judges said: "This is an incredible place with incredible produce. It is an amazing business and some of the judges now think they are producing the best beer in Cumbria."
Judges' Special Award for outstanding service
Holbeck Ghyll
Judges said: "The team at Holbeck Ghyll really stood out for consistently matching the finest food with the highest standards of country house service."
*Runners up – Shill's of Station Street, Cockermouth, The Drunken Duck Inn, Ambleside
Judges' Special Award for best newcomer
The Coffee Kitchen, Cockermouth
Judges said: Owners Andy and Angela Walsh set up their café and artisan bakery around the twin attractions of great coffee and fantastic real bread. There's a real sense of community with coffee-tasting events, barista experience days and the chance to purchase beans and equipment to take home. It was a brave move to set up in a town already awash with cafes and places to eat."
*Runners up – The Filling Station, Keswick, Askham Hall Kitchen Garden Café, nr Penrith
Taste Cumbria Gold Awards Best Cumbrian Product
Lakeland Treacle Bread With Walnut and Raisins, More? Bakery, Staveley
Judges said: "This is simply wonderful! Faultless in its visual appeal, taste, texture, aroma, and degree of skill and creativity."
*Runners up - Rack of Herdwick Hogget (Heritage Meats); Eden Valley Organic Brie (Appleby Creamery)
Young Chef of the Year
Scott Fairweather- The Punch Bowl Inn & Restaurant, Crosthwaite nr Kendal
Judges said: "Scott is enthusiastic and wholly committed to the business. He is willing to learn from other restaurants and hasn't sat on his hands. He works in a busy environment and has to think on his feet and be very involved, yet he's also a very calm individual."
*Runners up – Andrew Postlethwaite, Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, James Maggiore, Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel, Windermere
Chef of the Year
Ryan Blackburn, The Cottage in the Wood, Keswick
Judges said: "Ryan displays enthusiasm and passion for his suppliers and enormous knowledge. He is willing to learn from comments and sends out all the right signals. He's passionate about what he does and has played a big part in elevating his employer's hotel and restaurant from a hidden gem to the Cumbrian premier league."
*Runners up – Craig Sherrington, General Burgoyne, Great Urswick, Ian Swainson, The Samling, Windermere
Dining Pub of the Year
The Punch Bowl Inn & Restaurant, Crosthwaite, nr Kendal
General Burgoyne, Great Urswick nr Ulverston (Joint winners)
Of The Punch Bowl Inn, the judges said: "The Punch Bowl offers superb restaurant-type food in a restaurant-style inn with a small bar area and has a reputation for serving consistently good food. One of the judges said his dessert had been 'out of this world'."
Of General Burgoyne, the judges said: This is a pub with a lot of energy, where the chef/patron cares about his customers, the menu suits the local area, and the food is very good."
The judges added: "Both places are in slightly out-of-the-way locations and diners are rewarded when they make an effort to visit."
*Runner up – The George and Dragon, Clifton, nr Penrith
Cumbria Life Restaurant of the Year
The Drunken Duck, Ambleside
Chairman of Judges, Steven Doherty, said: "I would compare The Drunken Duck to a boxing champion who every now and again delivers the killer punch. They've reinvented themselves yet again, and all of us judges were blown away by the delivery."
*Runners up – The Samling, Windermere, Porto, Bowness on Windermere, The Jumble Room, Grasmere, The Cottage in the Wood, Keswick
Judges' Special Award for Restaurant of the Year
L'Enclume, Cartmel
Judges said: "Our three and a half hour lunch cooked under head chef Mark Birchall, not Simon Rogan was simply perfect with service to match. L'Enclume has everything and ticks every box. We're blessed to have such an outstanding restaurant on our doorstep in Cumbria. It's truly world class."
(This award was bestowed by the judges, and was awarded to the Cumbrian restaurant they judged as having delivered the most outstanding dining experience in Cumbria - whether they filled in a form and entered the awards or not.)
*Runners up – The Drunken Duck Inn, Ambleside, The Cottage in the Wood, Keswick, Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel, Windermere, The Samling, Windermere
Cumbria Life Special Award for Outstanding Achievement
Dave McLaughlin, Head Chef at Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel, Windermere
Judges said: "Dave is one of Cumbria's most consistently talented chefs and has won and maintained a Michelin star for his restaurant for an incredible 13 consecutive years.
"It takes enormous levels of motivation and dedication and professionalism day-in, day-out, to ensure the Michelin standard is there all the time, and Dave will have built an enviable team to uphold all the virtues necessary. He is also a lovely, modest nice guy, which we're told by our Chairman of Judges, Steven Doherty, isn't always the case with chefs!"
Cumbria Life Special Award for Outstanding Achievement
Simon Thomas, Staff of Life Bakery, Kendal
Judges said: "Simon set up the business when artisan bakeries were scarce and says that his bread is more than just a basic dietary staple: good bread made by real artisans is a privilege to eat and an essential part of any fine meal.
"Simon is not just one of the best bakers in Cumbria; he's one of the best in the country. When you walk into his shop in Kendal, you see a man who is as much in love with his bread as he is with his way of life. He is a true artisan, in touch with everything he does, assisted in this by his lovely and very able wife, Julie."
The 2013 Judges' Award for Outstanding Contribution to Cumbrian Food & Drink
The Dunning Family at Tebay Services Farm Shops, Tebay
Chairman of Judges, Steven Doherty, said: "This year's award goes to one of Cumbria's greatest success stories. It is a business that has become iconic; a Cumbrian institution; near the top of the list of places people mention if you ask them about Cumbria or the Lakes. Every day of the week people from all over the country can be found on Twitter declaring their absolute love and gratitude for this place.
"This place is a winner for its sustainable farming; it's a winner for its wonderful local food; it's a winner for its business ethos, innovation and success; it's a winner because there is simply nothing like it in the whole of the United Kingdom. And the most amazing thing about it is: it's a motorway service station.
"I hope now that the staff at Tebay won't be too disappointed with their runner's up certificates in the Farm Shop and Specialist Retailer categories, which went in the end to two little gems that are quintessentially Cumbrian. Tebay, which thirty years ago was that little gem, is now truly a phenomenon - and yet it too remains quintessentially Cumbrian thanks not just to its local owners but to its local staff."

Proactive Planning in this Regulatory Environment: Hope is not an Option
My father is a military man. Accordingly, all things in life, from mundane trips to the grocery store to complex life decisions like planning for and choosing a college, was subject to careful, deliberate planning. Digesting evidence and facts was a far better road than the proverbial "crossing of fingers" and trusting that "it will all work out for the best." Former NYC mayor Rudolph Guiliani said it best when he announced that "Hope is not a strategy."
I was reminded of this adage when reading a few industry reports compiling data points about corporate legal departments and the ever –increasing complexity of the regulatory environment. Here are some shockers:

From French bar circuit to soundtrack sensations (Created February 6, 2013)
From the early confines of a garage in the suburbs of Paris to the bright lights and big stages played worldwide, alternative rock band Phoenix got its touring start on the French bar circuit and never looked back.
Comprised of vocalist Thomas Mars, bassist Deck d'Arcy, guitarist Christian Mazzalai and his older brother Branco, Phoenix not only pressed 500 copies of its first single, but distributed them under the guise of their own label, Ghettoblaster. With an eclectic sound of rock and electronic music, they landed with Paris-based Source Records and became a backing band for labelmates Air on several television appearances.
The first single Phoenix released under its new label was "Heatwave," which held the sound of 70's disco. It was followed by "If I Ever Feel Better" and "Too Young," leading into the release of the debut album, "United" in 2000. It was the first of four major studio projects for the band, the latest being 2009's "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix." That album became a rich source of material for TV and movie soundtracks, with "1901" used for the trailer of the film "New York, I Love You," and the song "Lisztomania" featured in trailers for "Alice in Wonderland," as well as the season premiere of the then-ABC show "Cougar Town" and in episodes of USA's "Royal Pains," CW's "Gossip Girl" and "Vampire Diaries," HBO's "Entourage," and in the NBC series "Outsourced." An excerpt from "Love Like a Sunset" was also played on the CBS series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and the season 7 premiere of the CW's "One Tree Hill."
Phoenix won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album for "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix," and appeared at a number of major music festivals in 2009 and 2010. Their fifth studio album is due for an April 2013 release, with a tour in support of the new album to include headlining spots at Coachella and a number of huge European events.

One of the joys of being born female in this world is learning that no matter how how much you watch your diet, exercise or invest in simulacres beauty treatments your body will always be imperfect. The medical establishment has profited from this constructed insecurity by offering several operations to correct natures flaws. If you have enough money you can have a designer vagina. It does not matter that it may function just as nature intends, what matters is that it could be prettier, it could be tighter. So what if you can have an orgasm, if the dick that penetrates you isn't satisfied you cannot possibly be happy. Real women want tight holes, even the lesbians....
Of course the medical establishment is not happy with only making you panic about the unnatural looseness of your twat, you now have to be concerned about the size and shape of your areola. What if they are too large? What if they are too puffy? All women are supposed to come out of the factory with a barbie like shape, and if you fall short of that ideal something is wrong with you. As a true woman it is your responsibility to fix these faults. It is a small price to pay to achieve perfection.
According to the website of Dr. Romano, the procedure involves the following.
- Usually a very light general anesthesia, and the procedure takes about two hours.
- The procedure involves an incision around the areola edge and a smaller incision with removal of the excess tissue in between, like a donut.
- The incision is very inconspicuous and located around the final edge of the areola.
- Dressings and a light gauze bandage are worn for several days.
- This can be combined with other plastic surgical procedures.
Are you convinced yet? Well perhaps the results will make you realize that you need to correct this fault. After his handiwork these are the results that you can expect.
- Beautiful, balanced and proportioned contour and size and shape to the nipples and areola.
- Lasts the rest of your life and always looks better than if you didn't do it.
- Natural and presentable appearance in the first week that just gets better over the next three to six months.
I guess the breasts that we grew when we entered puberty came with some kind of expiry date. Well if you are rapidly reaching your best before date, the medical establishment has the answer for you. Get the fat sucked out of your ass, get your vagina tightened and while you are at it don't forget to get your areola fixed.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Glad to be part of us. Any one in this club from my side of the Mississippi?
Thanks for the warm welcome, Donny. I haven't played a round in my life to this point, but am planning to throw my first round either tomorrow or Sunday. Any suggestions on discs for beginners?
Happy to be here, just feeling it out. I am a long time discgolfer but this is my first really serious year and it had improved my game ten fold. I am hoping to get registered by next year and start competing in some tournaments. It should be fun! Goodluck to you as well!
Coop "Lefty" DeVille
Thanks Donny,
Looking forward to a great year of disc golf, just made my own practice basket. Saw a DIY video on You Tube and went in that direction.
Enjoy the day!
Greetings Donny,
I thank you for the well wishes, and may I send them back at you. We all need a few more ACES :-)
Thank you! And I haven't played in years, but why I'm here might interest you and others. I'm a landscape architect, and although I'm leaving soon, work for the City of Oakridge, OR. We just completed a master park plan that calls for a disc golf course, and there is a 18-20 acre site for the location. It's part open, part wooded, has two 20' wide streams, a good size pond, and is all bordered by Salmon Creek. Even though I'm moving on to another city, I intend to help them design and make construction plans. However, not having the expertise, I'll need help from people like you! For example, I know a course nearby that is all par 3. I'd like a "signature hole" that's a true par 5, as I hear they are rare. Would that be good or bad? Things like that I need to know... :) So that's my story, and while I'm real busy at the moment, I intend to pursue this endeavor. Thanks!
Hey thanks Donny!
Hope your season is going well so far!
Thanks Donny for your greeting. Looking forward to a great year of disc golf and hopefully improving my distance and accuracy.
Hey Donny. Thanks for your interest and wanting to join the King County Disc Throwers Club! Did you have a problem trying to join? Should be able to go to the Club page and hit the "Join" link at the top right. I double checked the admin. settings and it IS set to Anyone can join. If you have any problems, please let me know! I am a Computer Idiot...Here is the link to the Club page :

The world of Sebastien Millon is not too dissimilar to our own, except that it somehow manages to be even more troubling. Running amok with creatures so cutesy as to be faintly disturbing, his artwork is clever, creepy, unreservedly twee, and completely friggin' strange. In Millon's world, hamsters go on meth-fueled rampages, ghosts brag about their latest act of terror, bunnies bare vampiric fangs, and snooty, hooty owls silently judge you. This digital print on archival paper gives you a taste of the artist's enviably peculiar body of work.

This article was updated at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4. An explanation appears below.
By LINDSAY RENNER
Staff writer
For the third time, a Bladensburg man was sentenced Tuesday for the 2001 stabbing of a Port Tobacco man.
In November, Jeffrey Edward Allen, 51, was found guilty of first-degree murder for stabbing 32-year-old John Butler 19 times following a tryst between the two men the previous evening in October 2001. Circuit Judge Robert C. Nalley sentenced Allen to life with the possibility of parole. Allen has been serving time at Maryland Correctional Institution in Jessup for second-degree murder and robbery since the original conviction in 2002.
The original two convictions for first-degree murder were overturned in appellate court on the basis of jury instruction error on Nalley's part.
"When I came into my office this morning one of the first things that caught my eye ... was a copy of [Truman Capote's novel] 'In Cold Blood,'" Charles County Assistant State's Attorney John Stackhouse said Tuesday. "That stood out because ... that's what this murder was. There is no question that the evidence shows that this was a vicious and violent murder."
Stackhouse pointed to assertions by Allen's defense attorney, Janet Hart, that Allen thought Butler had a knife, as well. By Allen's own admission, Stackhouse said, that was not the case, and he admitted as much in his confession. In statements to Lt. Michael Almassy, Stackhouse said, Allen also admitted that he originally was not concerned with calling the police but rather with getting back to Bladensburg.
"[Allen] was trying to get out of there," Stackhouse said. "There were 19 stab wounds on Butler, and slash wounds on his hands. He was fighting for his life ... and Jeffrey Allen made sure he was dead before he left out of there. It's just chilling."
Butler's mother, Mary Butler, and twin sister, Joan Edelen, addressed Nalley.
"This is very hard for me, going through this," Edelen said. "[Allen] did the crime, so he needs to do the time. He took my brother away from me, and I suffer every day."
"This time it's much harder for me," Mary Butler said. "It's so hard for me to see [Allen's] face. He had not a mark on him. [John Butler] had nothing in his hands, and Allen knows that. I hope that this is the last time I have to come to this trial because it's really doing something to me. Mr. Allen, I'm so sorry. You did this to my son, but I feel sorry for you. I couldn't do you that way. I couldn't even stab you once. You know you've done wrong. If you could bring my son back you know you'd be OK, but you can't. I can't see my son, and your parents can see you. I have to go to the graveyard if I want to talk to my son. I know he'll never be back. Please, just let my son rest in peace."
"The natural order of life is not for a mother to bury her son," Stackhouse said. "They deserve justice, and so does this community."
In conversation with her client, Hart said, Allen has been exceedingly apologetic. Hart said Allen has struggled with drug addiction for much of his life, but since his incarceration has been "determined to refrain from drug use" and has done so.
"In virtually every conversation ... it is abundantly clear he is a spiritual and religious person," Hart said. "He holds those principles quite dear to himself ... and speaks of how they guide him."
Moving forward, Hart said, Allen wants to work with children to show them that there is a better path available and also said he has corresponded with different churches through a pen-pal program.
"He feels deeply that he lived a largely unproductive life prior to incarceration, and he is determined to do otherwise," Hart said.
Allen himself then turned to address the family members gathered in the courtroom.
"I know that there are no words to express what I did," Allen said, apologizing to the family. "I told the truth. All I can say now is my continued pursuit to this point has been of the truth. I can't deny I did it."
Even after all this time, Nalley said he still is mystified by the turn of events that led to Allen's actions.
"For the life of me I still don't understand why this happened. Accepting at face value the gist of the accounts I don't get how or why," Nalley said. "This man wasn't just stabbed, he was stabbed repeatedly ... and there was not a mark on you. Three juries now have been satisfied that there was no rhyme, reason or justification. I grant that you were ... frustrated and angry ... but what you're saying is Butler died for that."
This article was updated to correct the name of the Charles County Sheriff's Office lieutenant who worked the case in 2001 and whose testimony Charles County Assistant State's Attorney John Stackhouse referred to during this trial. The officer was Lt. Michael Almassy.

Estimated grade. Ex. Leon (1920) Sold by Bowers and Merena Nov '83 price realized $23100
David Akers (1975/88): Although not particularly scarce by Half Eagle standards, the 1795 Small Eagle is nevertheless a relatively high priced coin due to its status as the first U.S. gold coin and its popularity as a type coin. It is much more common than the other dates of this type and is fairly obtainable in AU-Unc. condition. Gems, that is MS-65 or better coins, are rare but still occasionally available. Proof-like surfaces are the norm rather than the exception but no true proofs exist. There are, however, several first strike specimens that have the characteristics of "presentation" pieces.
One interesting variety exists with the second S in STATES over the letter D. This variety, although more rare than the varieteies with the plain S, does not generally command a premium.
Ron Guth: Harry Bass and John Dannreuther identified 12 different die varieties of the 1795 Small Eagle $5 gold piece, all of which are scarce, and some of which are exceedingly rare. Some examples show adjustment marks (parallel file marks caused by filing the planchet to bring the weight down to standard); these are considered mint-caused defects that affect the value of the coin only minimally (actual scratches can have a major, detrimental effect on value depending on quantity and severity).

This glossary is protected by copyright and cannot be reproduced in whole or part.
Dogfish has a firm, moderately lean flesh with a fairly strong flavor. It is used in many cuisines but is generally considered trash fish in the U.S., and is difficult to find in markets here, although becoming more available. In the U.K. it is widely used for Fish and Chips.
Another name for mahi-mahi. Not to be confused with the daurade.
See English sole.
Other drum weigh up to 30 pounds and can generally be found in fillets and steaks. Some of the drum family include the Atlantic croaker, common or black drum, hardhead, kingfish, red drum, redfish, spot, spot-fin croaker, weakfish, white seabass and whiting.
The larger conger eel can reach 10 feet and more than 170 pounds, and is sold as steaks. Both varieties have an oily, sweet, firm meat. Before cooking, the thick, tough skin, once used as leather, must be removed. The common eel can be baked, stewed or grilled; but the tougher meat of the conger eel requires a braise, soup or stew. Eel can also be found jellied (especially popular in England) or smoked. Eel trivia: In parts of the Philippines, according to legend, eels are the souls of the dead. In Europe, rubbing the skin with eel oil will cause a person to see fairies.
In the U.S., English sole is rarely found. Rather, the "filet of sole" found here is a species of flounder, also commonly called lemon sole. In Europe, this flatfish is a true sole that has a fine textured, low fat flesh. True English sole is a small fish, ranging from 1/4 to 2 pounds, and when it can be found, it is usually already filleted and labeled "Fillet of Sole." (Americans use the French word filet rather than the English word fillet.) English sole is usually prepared in ways to protect its fine texture, such as baking, broiling, poaching and sautéing.

Peter and Vandy
Drama, Romance
"Peter and Vandy" is a love story told out of order. Set in Manhattan, Peter and Vandy go from strangers, to pie-eyed lovers, to a twisted and manipulative couple... just not in that order. They leave us asking what most couples ask themselves, "How the hell did we get this way?" We see Peter and Vandy through everyday scenes in their life together. Trying to have sex; meeting for the first time; having dinner; small, seemingly disconnected moments, but moments we all recognize. These moments are what we are comprised of. Ordering food. Picking a movie. In these moments we see who people really are. Peter and Vandy, like a lot of couples, don't always know why they stay together, or why they are the way they are. But, because we see things out of sequence, we do.

Evolution which I took as director Ivan Reitman's attempt to reboot the GhostBusters franchise. Was a good film (by my standards) and it's been more then ten years now since it's release. Is there any hope or speculation that a sequel will be made?

Considering Evolution was a pretty huge loss for Dreamworks ($40 million return against an $80 million budget (not including marketing)), it is unsurprising that a sequel was not green-lit.
That said, the filmmakers did indeed hope for it to be a new franchise in the same vein as Ghostbusters seeing as they produced a short-lived animated show on Fox Kids based on the film.

On one of the rare occasions I've used Lightroom Collections, I found myself wanting to transfer the Pick/Reject info from the Collection back to the main Folder the photos are in. Picks are Collection-local, and there doesn't seem to be a built-in way of doing it. The best I could come up with is using a tag or coloured flag (which are global) as a temporary marker, allowing me to edit the Picks in the Folder. Is there a better way?

Temporarily tagging them is probably the best move. I've hit this same frustration before and that's how I moved on.
For me, this issue is a real bugbear. I actually see it as a defect of the software and it is one of the more compelling reasons to upgrade to Lightroom 4, where flag status is global, rather than local to a Collection.

How to Choose a Swim Training Fin
Swim training fins have many useful benefits, including use in physical rehabilitation, aqua aerobics, fitness
swimming and competitive training. Using a smaller training fin provides added resistance without overloading the
muscles joints, ligaments and tendons used in water exercise. Many fitness and competitive swimmers use long
scuba/snorkel fins as a training aid. Because the center of effort in a long fin is forward of the foot, the excessive
blade area and displaced center of effort may cause early fatigue or cramping, and encourage a "pedaling" motion
different than that used in a flutter kick. The concept of the short training fin was conceived to bring the center of
effort back to the foot, increase leg strength, and allow a swimmer to train with a kicking motion that is the same
as the flutter kick without a fin.
Why top coaches, aqua aerobics instructors, and world champion swimmers use training fins:

Do Mathematics really help us to think and open our minds?
Well, i put that TED talk because was the only one that i found kinda related to this topic.
So a year ago I was in secondary school where teach about many subjects but very little mathematical content. I saw this as a problem, since my intention after leaving school was to pursue a engineering carrier, which obviously has a lot of math. So i studied and practiced hard to pass the entrance examination. After weeks of study, i noticed that was starting to think like in a more clear and analytical way.
I'm sure that most advanced mathematics might can help us when time to think.
Maybe was a growth phenomenon? or caused by mathematics?
Fritzie -
Nov 17 2011: Mathematics at its earlier levels is one of the fields that helps cultivate an eye for patterns.
- +2
Mathematics at its higher levels centers on proof, which creates a model of precise deductive reasoning- the examination of what conclusions can be drawn definitively from premises.
Both aspects of exposure to mathematics have widespread application in situations that require logical thinking.
Mathematics also, for many students, offers an excellent opportunity to struggle with challenge and then, with adequate perseverance, to succeed. This practice and feeling of perseverance and ultimate success may create a disposition to tackle other challenges across domains.Nov 23 2011: Tomas, look at the math not as a big formula which organizes everything and anything but rather as a way to abstract. This view has more power than devoting of Great Constitution. I believe the abstraction makes the mathematics mathematics.
Denomyar 01
Nov 22 2011: Without the perception of a 'problem' there is no call for 'mind tools' such as logic or maths.
- +1
But, if a problem IS perceived, maths is the 'tool of choice' that humans use to solve them rationally.
'Problems' are things or situations that appear to threaten our safety, stability or future success.
Things that threaten our safety, stability or future success cause us to experience fear emotions and upset.
So maths is merely a tool used to avoid feeling upset and irrational should we NOT solve perceived problems.
So the human obsession with the rationality of maths is generated by the (adult) human fear of upset, or better put, 'aversion to irrationality'.
When we engage the courage necessary to 'not solve' through letting go of our rationale and instead face our fear of irrationality and upset, problems dissolve. So failing to let go of our rationale or 'judgments', is failing to face fear.
Accepting our fundamental irrationality ought be easy, it re-unites us with 'home', since 'fundamentally irrational', is the 'birth state' from which we each emerged.
So maths cannot open the mind. When there is a percieved 'problem', the mind is already closed. Maths cannot open it, it merely moves the mind away.

But if you don't have an axe you can't be a lumberjack.Nov 17 2011: Hi Tomas ~
Excellent observation and question.
Mathematics can be an "exercise" (and a very good one) for the brain.
My Mom, who loves Math, and was a math teacher - actually does Suduko everyday - she feels its wakes up her mind and sharpens her thought processes. I think that's what you're saying about the changes you observe in yourself.
From a personal perspective, it's not something that comes easily to me - so I tend to get very distracted when engaging in most math related tasks, which means I have real difficulty focusing. I did discover though, that when I can relate the math problems to be solved to something I am very interested in or understand, suddenly I feel as though a "light goes on" and I have a much easier time with math.
My children are both lucky enough to have really gifted mathematics teachers - they teach in a manner that the kids relate to, and it makes a ton of difference regarding how quickly and completely the grasp the concepts, and are able to put them into practice. A critical component of this is how they teach and that they really love kids and want t0o see them learn - so they are happy to work with them until they understand. My older daughters teacher even taught me a few things recently - and did so enthusiastically, without an ounce of criticism - I have to say, it made a huge difference in the way I understood concepts I hadn't reviewed in over 20 years! (and made me wish I had a teacher like her when I was in school - methods have changed so very much! For the better I think :)
I think a key part to it IS practice - like any exercise, the more you do - the better you get. Having a goal behind the repetition is also motivating - you are a great example of that!
Good luck to you! It sounds like you are well on your way to a wonderful career!
Nov 17 2011: Thank you Lib! very helpful.Nov 16 2011: A very nice question, Tomas!
I've been experiencing the same during the past 3 years! I started my maths undergrad 3 years ago.
In my mind, every thought structure has to have some physical representation inside of my skull.
Thought structures develop over time and studying like any learning process alters the mind and the
connections within.
It is less maths than logic you have to use in order to understand the mathematical formulas.
Therefore I would say as long you try to understand the maths and the motivations and structural considerations
for the construction of formulas and proofs, you improve thinking logically.
However! I realized for myself, after reaching a decent logical level, it is hard for some people to follow some of my considerations. I have to learn now how to formulate my thoughts so that others understand what I tell them.
Finally: I think it is important to not forget to grow the heart for logic does not help you anything with your personal relationship to fellow humans (and with women in particular).
Cheers, mate! Good luck for your studies!
PS: To the ladies: No offense! To me men are as capable of logic as women are ;)
Nov 17 2011: Thank you very much Roland!. I feel identified in some way.
Comment deleted
Nov 16 2011: Thank you Adriaan. I agree with that, there are certain things that can not be represented (not many) or are difficult to do.Nov 23 2011: No subject helps anyone to be anything until s/he wants to be. It is first one's own intension to have an open mind then only subject can help.
My college math teacher who was considered to be an expert , was a person of extreme blind belief. I know some more such.Nov 23 2011: Humans are networked beings and creativity is a network function not a single discipline. I'm not sure we do ourselves a service by preferring one discipline over another. Mathematics is just one of our languages. It is no more or less creative than other languages. Each of us have talents toward one or more languages and creativity comes from how well we use these languages to collaborate and bring multiple disciplines to bear on any given problem.
Consider that the most creative artist has nothing without a cultural context of collaboration among other artists and with potential audiences of said art.Nov 22 2011: The problem with mathematics is the way it is taught. Just because there is a linear way of answering a question doesn't mean there has to be a linear question. For example: If sally has five apples and you eat two how many are left. This is a dumb down version of a dumb question. By making it more creative allows people options and relevance. Same question changed to be relevant: There are five questions on this test and you are on question 3 how many questions are left? This is relevant to the task at hand. it allows them to see the problem and then actually make it a reality, which is creative in it's own right. let make this even harder and relevant.
If a ball is rolling a long a table at 50 inches per second how long would it take to get to the end of a 50 foot table . . .
That was boring just writing it.
The change: You are late for work and driving 50 miles per hour to get to work which is 50 miles away. how much gas does it take to get there if you car uses 10 miles per gallon? What speed would you have to go to get there 10 minutes earlier?
By changing the equation allows people to put themselves into the problem. by making it relevant makes it creative and then the answer can be answered in a creative way even though there is a clear logical way of answering it you still feel like you are in control of how to get to the answer, which is the goal of creativity.
Math can help us open our mind if it is applied to a real world personal situation and allows us the opportunity to engage with it.

When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math principles. People have been using these same principles for thousands of years, across countries and continents. Whether you're sailing a boat off the coast of Japan or building a house in Peru, you're using math to get things done.
How can math be so universal? First, human beings didn't invent math concepts; we discovered them. Also, the language of math is numbers, not English or German or Russian. If we are well versed in this language of numbers, it can help us make important decisions and perform everyday tasks. Math can help us to shop wisely, buy the right insurance, remodel a home within a budget, understand population growth, or even bet on the horse with the best chance of winning the race.
In this exhibit, you'll look at the language of numbers through common situations, such as playing games or cooking. Put your decision-making skills to the test by deciding whether buying or leasing a new car is right for you, and predict how much money you can save for your retirement by using an interest calculator.
Reference: http://www.learner.org/interactives/dailymath/Nov 22 2011: Mathematics gives the real way , the right procedure to solve the problemNov 21 2011: algerbra is super fun, just sayinNov 21 2011: who cares math is beautiful and fun! does any art expand or mind? can you really prove it? math is about understanding not just solving a problem. sometimes you do math and you aren't looking to solve anything, as you learn to play with an equation you learn all kinds of things even things about your self. math is amazing for many reasons including that there are so many ways to do anything, and it truly is simple.Nov 21 2011: I can't speak for others but it really gives me more headaches than imaginations.
It did help me organize my thoughts and logicNov 21 2011: Mathematics is logic, and skill in using mathematics means skill in approaching a problem in an organized, logical way. That is clearly an advantage in planning and resolving issues. I see that some commenters seem to equate mathematics with the simple rules learned in elementary and intermediate school. Those simple tools are of course essential, but the tools of more advanced mathematics allow you to solve problems that those unskilled in math can't even begin to approach. Every addition of skills in higher mathematics gives access to new solutions and allows you to see more possibilities. It may or may not make you more creative, but it will give wings to the creativity you have. At the highest levels, pure mathematical research is of course highly creative, and has nothing to do with the tools we've all learned.
I'd like to beat the drum for a branch of mathematics that is not among the esoteric and theoretical, namely statistics. I think everyone should have at least a basic course in statistics, because it corrects the way one thinks about truth. Statistics gives you the understanding to grasp that "truths" you hear or read in the media are often at best likelihoods.Nov 21 2011: It probably depends on the person more than the method.
Howard Gardner talks about multiple intelligences, which is really just grouping the ways like-minded people think in general ways. There is probably some merit in this.
Personally, mathematics was like a foreign, dead language to me and still is.Nov 21 2011: In fact, mathematics is the language of physics. And is no doubt about the "open mind" of many physicists. Is almost impossible to imagine the ideas they have had. And the only way to transmit those ideas was through mathematics. In the other hand, the "pure" mathematics also tries to explain abstract concepts, and to imagine those concepts you need a lot of imagination and open mind.
In the art, perhaps in a hidden way, is always a kind of logic (normally named "style"). That means that the subjacent concept is totally logic, even if it doesn´t look like. Is the general relativity "logic" or intuitive? Not at all.
I think that the main way to get an open mind is to think as much as possible, and mathematics is one good way for that.Nov 21 2011: Tomas,
As others have said, mathematics basically uses a specific algorithm to resolve different exercises (of course, there are lots of algorithms, formulae and theorems because there is a large spectrum of domains and areas of mathematics). In other words, you learn to apply a pattern to various problems, which leads to convergent thinking. This is useful because there are so many problems that you can't solve each one of them in a different way. So in this way, it does develop your analytical process of thinking, it helps you make rational connections and optimize the path to a solution.
However, creativity in its main meaning is about divergent thinking, which is the opposite of what maths help you improve. Here, you find multiple solutions to a single problem (all kinds of problems, not necessarily involving numbers and calculations), and you choose the one that represents the best compromise.
So in my opinion, the fact that you become more open-minded and creative is indirectly related to better understanding and knowing mathematics (for example, your passion can drive you to research a specific mathematician, you find about more about his life and work and you can make a better connection between the rational side and how he did it).
I'm studying engineering like you, so I'm more interested in mathematics and physics more than the other subjects and this has indeed helped me rationalize most of the things in my life. I can advise you though to not become hung up on it because it might block/lead to a slower development of your interpersonal abilities (because you can't find reason in feelings, emotions and so on).
All the best!Nov 21 2011: Great comments, most comments touched the part where we seem to look at Math as a sense of formulaic process. IMHO, the joy of math lies in it's application in daily life. Example: I am big fan of geometry and when I drive I use it the most, like approximating turning radius, braking length etc. It is like math which I learnt while in college and Engineering is in play with a reflex, a recreated formula set to analyze things out of habit in the head.
That is sort of a kick when you are able to apply the understanding of math in our daily life.
Maths making us open minded? I am still not sure how a 'clinical sense of being analytical' is related to 'being open minded' about things around. Maybe an extra degree of awareness is available (from proof of Math fundamentals)to take an open minded decision.
Me & my wife have a small interest in Machine Learning, patterns etc things. While working on these subjects we particularly found the aspect of math being fun with application and less fun on paper. :)
Please correct me if this idea seems skewed.
CheersNov 21 2011: Speaking for myself, probability theory (and statistics) really opened my mind quite a lot: it allows you to think inductively (in a right, non-intuitive way... the intuitive one is too often wrong), and how to express everything between any dichotomy (instead of 1 and 0, you have all values in between, and can compare uncertainties)
Mathematics is a great way to learn thinking abstract. And it has beauty and elegance

Nov 21 2011: I studied maths at high school and at the first year in my college.I both did it well ,but my logical thinking ability is still bad.I do not know why?Nov 19 2011: Mathematics uses the right side of your brain which is not creative. Math is not creative. However, I believe that learning math will allow you to think through a more realistic and rational approach to problems in everyday life. However, if you want to open your mind to new ideas and inovations you need to use your left side of your brain which involves music, art, science, literature, etc. Together, both sides of your brain keep your mind in check and provide you with a perfect amount of both creativity as well as rationality.

Nov 20 2011: I'm not entirely agree with what you propose. Mathematics actually uses creativity. The mathematicians´s theorems were created based on their creativity and imagination. They are fundamental. When someone tries to solve a complex Geometry problem must inevitably resort to the imagination and the ideas. Then comes the "technical "process. Thanks for your reply.
Nov 20 2011: When you solve a mathematics problem, you use a set of formulas/theorems that have already been discovered. Geometry is no different. When you want to solve a geometry problem, depending on the problem, you graph it or you solve it using a set of formulas/theorems. Now, the people who created those theorems and formulas needed to think creatively, but most people do not find formulas/theorems.
Nov 20 2011: It is not just a matter of raising a formula or follow a particular theorem. That would not be efficient. What you propose is a prelude to the ideas. The problems of calculus, and geometry agebra need ideas. think that is irrefutable. If you ever had an opportunity of solving a geometry problem you'll notice what I mean. Also you said that "left side of your brain which involves music, art, science, literature, etc.".Is important to clarify that Math is the one most important science for not say the most important.
I recommend you a nice book:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_the_Imagination_(book)Nov 21 2011: You don't need creativity to read a Shakespeare but you need lots of it to create one!
Even past PhD in Mathematics it's extremely difficult to be creative.
But that doesn't mean that maths is not creative is it?Nov 22 2011: I am taking Geometry right now. I have/done many geometry problems some of which I did today. Solving math, whatever type it may be, involves logical thinking and formulas to solve a problem. The person who thinks of formulas or who comes up with math problems is creative, the person who solves them is not.
Nov 23 2011: Isn't geometry fun? It was one of my favorite subjects in school (in the 1950s). No other subject illustrates logic so clearly, and when you really understand geometry you'll find thousands of times throughout life that a problem, especially (but not only) in the physical sciences, engineering and mathematics, can be reduced to geometric relationships, which improves insight into the problem and helps solutions to spring forth. Having the tools of geometry, trigonometry, and analysis at hand allows you to be creative in problem solving in ways that you can't be without that knowledge. Enjoy your study of geometry, which is a study of space itself. Nothing is more fundamental.Nov 21 2011: thats sad i love art and math! to me they go together, sometimes i see a math problem and think, DAMN THATS PRETTY, it happens.Nov 19 2011: Human beings are natural born problem solvers. We constantly are solving problems whether its to get to an appointment on time (time management problem) or a place (traversing from one point to another) or placing a football in the hands of a receiver 30 yeards down the field (physics problem). Underneath this natural problem solving ability is process our brains perform of combining realltime information to adapt to the environment around us. Mathematics is a vehicle (or means to an end as Debra says) that opens up our mind to understanding how we are solving these problems. As we gain insight into how we solve simple problem, we can combine approaches and techniques to solve larger more complex problems and turn iideas into reality. If we focus just on the how such as equations, algebra, calculus , math is perceived as hard and unintelligible. If we look at math as our portal to understanding of the what we as natural born problem solvers are accomplishing we gain understanding as to why it helps us adapt to the world around us.Nov 19 2011: For me mathematics is a means to an end. I am not sure that it is the math itself but the things that it illustrates and makes apparent that opens my mind. For example: learning to do statistics helped me to understand a lot about the world of people by showing me what was true or solid and what had no basis in fact.

Courant and Robbins book What is mathematics?
Don Fox
Nov 17 2011: Mathematics is a language as well as a means to develop creative ideas in a precise and understandable way. It can be an aid in understanding at least some aspects of any subject, from psychology to physics, but it has some limitations. For instance, every logical system is either inconsistent or incomplete (Kurt Goedel). Yet compared to most other languages it has the major advantages of precision and conciseness. It is the languge of science. Why? because science is about measuring things, and Math is a big help in getting that right. Wittgenstein believed that math was tautologous, and it may be, but so are most languages when one concerns oneself with definitions and tries to be accurate. It has been my lifelong comapnion, and i hope will continue to be as long as i can continue to pursue truth.Nov 16 2011: Las Matemáticas ayudan en todo mi amigo.-

After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday, the United States and countries around the world have shifted their focus to helping those in need.
Click here for our full report on the quake and its aftermath.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the earthquake a "catastrophic" event and said the United States "will be providing both civilian and military disaster relief and humanitarian assistance."
In a blog post on the U.S. State Department Web site, Clinton's Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills called for those wanting to help to donate $10 by texting "HAITI" to "90999." The $10 donation will go automatically to the Red Cross "to help with relief efforts" and will be charged directly to your cell phone bill, the Web site said.
