The Vine - February 2013 - 02-10-2013, 11:35 AM
What's New.
Not a lot, to be honest! Tho that's February for you; boring, horrible weather and dreary. Tho at least the end is in sight... it's a very short month after all and there's Valentine's Day to look forward to.
Dolls Of The Month.
Best Handdrawn.
Elanorea's portrait doll is fantastic. She claims it's not her best work, but the hair is just amazing. Check it out and comment here.
Best Dollmaker.
Has to be Alsie's beautiful White Wolf doll. Almost makes me shiver just looking at it! Check it out and comment here.
Happy Birthday to SkeleViolence, marshall2, oceanbreeze656, sentimental7, Paka, Fallen_Angel41, alleypie99811 and erivitale!
There are no quick fixes, just momentary. As long as you set realistic goals and actually do something positive in relation to them, you will start climbing out of the rut that you no longer like to wallow in. Dont let this Valentine's Day timeline set you back to the shade drawn Doritos buffet days that you are attempting to recover from. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride and remember: Valentine's chocolate is half price on the fifteenth so it won't matter that no-one gave you any on the day. Feel free to go crazy and buy all you like in the week after.
Chocolates and roses may provide a positive direction, but only temporarily! The hole in your heart can only be filled with resolve. You are stretching the limits of your friends patience. What was once cute is now becoming more irritating and you are not seeing it, although you are getting better at it. You will be better off by liquidating this clique of friends and find - or buy - some 'real' friends. It might even be better to change your clique of friends every few months or so. After all, you don't want to provoke any of them into getting irritated enough to stab you.
Romance is not dead - you just slightly injured it when you bought that stupid underwear. Love is in the air, but you might feel like there is some distance between you and your mate. If you want to appear desirable, stop leaving the door open while you're on the loo. Some mystery is vital when you've spent so much time in the company of another person that you know them inside out and they know you likewise. Felt like a doormat recently? You're always coming to your messed up friend's rescue. This month, stand aside and let her learn from her mistakes. Unless she really can't get herself out of it... like that time she called you from inside the boot of someone's car. Then it's cool to help.
Tis the season for love. Who loves you, baby? The responsibility that you have been owning up to is doing wonders for your self-esteem. It is a good beginning and one that you can develop. Express the possessiveness of your efforts to your probation officer and see if they give a d@mn! You might meet someone at the probation office. Well, at least if you do you will know for sure that you have at least one thing in common with your new love. Just try to end it amicably, if that time comes. Setting fire to someone's house is just so eighties, dah-ling.
If you are looking for little gifts for your loved ones, try to avoid buying a ton of crappy, over-priced, heart-shaped stuffed animals that make obnoxious kissing noises. No one wants them, and those things are just stuffed with dust mites, cat hair, and wood chips anyhow. Try to widen your choice of shops for Valentine's gifts; basically, give the pound shop a wide berth this year, you cheapskate. In order to conquer an age-old fear this month, you will finally confront the old skeletons in your closet. Though why you were cool with human remains in your house for this long is super hard to explain, and the guys from CSI are probably going to take you in for questioning, it's worth it to get that dank "old bone" smell out of your sweaters.
Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy your chocolates and not to worry: if youre single and sad about it for some reason, take heart that someone near you has a partner who is going to ruin the holiday for them. For those of you who have partners bound to ruin the day, just remember that no matter how much it gets ruined for you, some whiny single person envies you, anyway. Crabs are very romantic when the mood gets them; otherwise, they are crabby. No matter how tempting it is to send a letter bomb thru the post to that person who rejected you several years back, try to suppress the urge. Just buy a voodoo doll of them instead and stick pins all over.
Events are taking a turn and it seems that this month you will be possessed. You will not become the green-faced monster from The Exorcist, lets not be that dramatic, but you will feel a few stomach turning changes within yourself. Should we be worried? Nah... If someone as damaged as you will be able to crawl out of bed every morning, the rest of the world will be just fine. There is a door. Be a lamb and open it. Now walk through the door into the room... where rabid penguins will eat your liver. To avoid this masterful terror you need to grow a mind of your own. You dont always have to do things people tell you to.
You will fall for the marketing ploy of buying the cookies, pizzas and other junk thats cut into heart-shapes pieces for the holiday, which will lead you to spend more money on less volume of food. Instead of buying a card for your other half, and becoming yet another victim of the consumer culture, why not consider making a card instead? Your other half will appreciate it a lot more than you simply borrowing his credit card and using his own money to buy his Valentine's gift, which is what you usually do this month. When you think about it, a baby hurling sharp arrows at you with a crossbow is more scary than romantic. Happy(?) Valentines Day
Quit posting up blogs filled with melodramatic online surveys about how you're going to spend Valentine's Day sad and alone because nobody loves you. Although that might be true, fishing for compliments isnt going to boost your self esteem, and in fact, its annoying to death the few friends that you have left. No-one loves a whinger. If you want something, you have to really think hard, believe in it and it will happen. On the flip side, you could work harder than youve ever worked to achieve that goal think of it as continuing to work when others are sleeping. Which path will you pick? Will you rely on will power or use your imagination?
Stealing flowers for your other half from cemeteries is not an acceptable form of "Recycling", you git. You also risk the wrath of the zombies coming down on your deserving head if you continue to do this and it will serve you right. Going on a few dates this month? Avoid restaurants and cemeteries, especially if those are blind dates. When we think of you this month, an Aswang comes to mind - a cannibalistic eater of the dead and of the living. Apparently they can transform themselves into either a black dog or a black boar, so dont entertain unfamiliar stray dogs, and of course, boars. Once an Aswang sets their eyes on you, nothing will save you, you can forget garlic and holy water.
More people would send you Valentine's Day cards if you weren't so fat. You'd probably slim down a bit if you actually chewed your food at least twenty times per bite, rather than just unhinging your jaw and devouring entire gazelles like you normally do. February is a month of love and realisation for you, and it has little to do with the whole Valentines thing. Realisation is usually a positive thing, so this is a good month for you. You will realise that you found yourself stuck in a tunnel of love and your partner is the one digging it. While at the moment you may think theres nothing wrong in that, you must also remember; tunnels collapse, get blocked, people get stuck. Are you comfortable in this tunnel?
You will receive a delicious box of chocolates from a secret admirer, and you will almost die when you take the first decadent bite. In addition, the sender of the package will also die by the hands of his wife because he sent her present to the wrong address. Still, no point in crying over spilled milk or misdirected chocolates for that matter, so ignore those pangs of conscience and eat them all. If you tell the truth about how youre feeling, it becomes funny. But nowadays you can also get killed for it. Between lovers a little confession is a dangerous thing, especially for your star sign this month. Zip it, lock it, through away the key. Stay away from the jungles of your subconscious.
Unfortunately, I can't heed that last bit of advice since we are discussing Freud and Jung and Adler (who are ALL about the subconscious) in my theories of personality psych class xD
Thanks for Doll of the Month! And congrats to Elanorea!
My horoscope is hilarious!

Can you use vegetable oil instead of canola in a party mix recipe using saltine crackers?
Yes you can. You can actually use any oil at all, just be aware that each oil has its own taste and thus the final product will have a slightly different flavor.
Vegetable oil is a category of oils, not a specific type. It could be palm, avocado, or many others. What is typically sold as vegetable oil in stores is soybean oil.
My guess is that soybean oil will work as a substitute for what you're doing, but that canola oil may be somewhat healthier.
Short answer is yes, you can almost always substitute vegetable oil and canola oil for each other.
Vegetable oil is made predominantly from soybean oil but it usually is a blend of oils from vegetables such as corn, olive, pumpkin seed, grape seed or even canola oil itself.
Canola oil is made from pressing a plant that is a hybrid of the rapeseed plant. It has the lowest levels of saturated fats out of all the vegetable oils.

Former F1 driver Timo Glock says it did not take him long to adjust as he tested a BMW touring car before signing with the team
Glock was left without a race-seat for this season after parting ways with the Marussia Formula One team earlier this week due to financial reasons.
However, just days later Glock was already back in action as he took part in a DTM test at Valencia with BMW team.
"My first impressions of the BMW M3 DTM were very positive," Glock told Autosport.
"It did not take me long to get used to the car, and I came to understand it better with every lap. The fact that we were able to test in all conditions, from wet to dry, was perfect."
It wasn't just the car, though, that Glock quickly adapted to, he also felt comfortable with the team and has subsequently been signed to race for them this season.
"I had a fantastic time in Formula One, but am now looking forward to battling for victories again with my old friends at BMW Motorsport. That is the approach I shall be taking to the challenge of the DTM."
Meanwhile, Robet Kubica, who is determined to return to Formula One in the future, tested a Mercedes AMG C-Coupé, putting in 114 laps in changeable conditions.
"My first day of testing in a DTM car was great fun and I learned a lot about the series and the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé," said the Pole.
"The first installation lap was in the dry, then a few heavy showers of rain came down and we had to wait for the track to dry out. All in all, it was a good experience, getting to know the car in different weather conditions.
"I was able to get to grips with the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé and felt very comfortable in the car, even though after my long break it meant adjusting to the high downforce that a state-of-the art DTM race car produces.
"I'm very pleased with my performance on this first day of DTM testing and had no problems whatsoever in the car."

500: Internal Server Error during step of load data in the ExtJs4.1 CarListings Example. Running Windows 7 with Tomcat V6. I've seen an another reports like this in early September that were closed because it was fixed in SA build 640 on September 28th. Is the build not available yet, or is this a new problem? Again I just did a clean install off a October 31st purchase.

The tickets were closed because this is a server-side problem, not an Architect problem.
Is your server setup to serve .json files? If you access the .json file from a web browser does it load?Aaron Conran

Thanks Aaron. Turns out that when I unzipped the files using Windows Extractor it unzip them and encripted files that made them inaccessible from Tomcat. When I used WinZip it unpacked and installed the json mime type int the web.xml conf file, everything worked fine.

Nashua Telegraph: When the Yankees ruled baseball and Republicans ruled NH
Not to discount Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte – the party's present de facto standard-bearer – but the days of Styles Bridges, Norris Cotton, Warren Rudman and Judd Gregg must seem like a very long time ago, indeed, when a candidate of Bass' stature turns down a chance to run for such a plum seat.

The March issue of Environment & Climate News offers several articles addressing endangered species issues. Rep. Richard Pombo (R-California), chairman of the House Resources Committee, has pledged he will mark the 30th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act by recommending changes to the act designed to encourage cooperation between citizen-landowners and the federal government.
ECN also covers two studies, in Nature and New Scientist magazine, that consider the potential effect of global warming on species, and we report on the ongoing battle between the federal government and Wyoming state officials over delisting of the gray wolf.
Heartland Science Director Jay Lehr reviews Gregg Easterbrook's new book, The Progress Paradox--which Lehr calls "among the 10 most important books I have read in the past 20 years."
Among other stories: the on-again, off-again ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park; New Jersey's adoption of California's vehicle emissions standard; the impact of hog farming on water quality in North Carolina; a Supreme Court decision giving EPA clean air authority over states; a federal appeals court ruling requiring a 30 percent increase in energy efficiency for central air conditioners and heat pumps; California's attempt to implement a 2002 law mandating reductions in greenhouse gas emissions; hype over mercury contamination in lakes; and a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity against the Altamont Pass, California wind farm.

6 Nobodies Who Stumbled Into World Changing Discoveries
#3. A Perfectly Preserved Caveman
In 1991, a couple of German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon, were strolling around the European Alps when they came upon the head and shoulders of some guy sticking out of the ice with a surprised expression on his face. Fearing that they had stumbled upon the body of a dead hiker, they called for help.
Planet Wissen, via Wikipedia.com
"But, uh, don't hurry or anything."
He might have been a hiker, but if so, he was doing his hiking more than a thousand years before the New Testament. The scientists who later dug up the body discovered that he hadn't been alive since about 3300 B.C.
The corpse, Otzi (named by the scientists, since he wasn't wearing a name tag), turned out to be the best-preserved natural mummy ever discovered. The amazing fluke is that the random tourists happened to be jaunting around that part of absolutely nowhere right during the narrow window of time when Otzi had defrosted enough to be visible, but before he started deteriorating or got eaten by a wolf with a taste for jerky. The result is that the iceman is so well preserved that we know the color of his eyes and what he had for his last meal.
Ibex. Without hollandaise sauce. So you know he was a classless schmuck.
This was huge, since Bronze Age civilization is still kind of a mystery to us -- what we know about it involves a lot of guesswork, occasionally filling the holes in our knowledge with things we saw on The Flintstones. So finding an actual, frozen caveman is the next best thing to going back in time. In particular, Otzi was found to have tattoos, which we assume revealed his prehistoric gang affiliations.
He is believed to have cost $19.95 from Hasbro (rock sold separately).
The mummy has also earned millions in tourism dollars for the Italian province that he calls home. And for over a decade, the tourists who found him had been embroiled in a legal battle to get a cut of the profits. Apparently, seeing a corpse lying in the snow and having the decency to contact the authorities about it is worth more than the 10 million lira (around $7,600) they were offered as a reward, which they turned down as not a high enough figure.
After dragging it through the courts for almost two decades, they were finally awarded 150,000 euros (about $200,000) for the discovery. Well, only Erika was compensated. Helmut had died in a skiing accident a few years earlier due to what people feared was a "mummy curse." Even though the only thing Otzi has in common with your regular "cursed" Egyptian mummies is that they're all dead.
Although he definitely had a few things in common with Adrien Brody.
Hey, speaking of which ...
#2. A Famous Lost Play, Stuffed in a Mummy
You can count the number of incredible discoveries that have been found inside mummies on one hand. Or, more specifically, on one finger. Sometime back in the '90s, scientists in Egypt were unwrapping a mummy for science reasons (we guess) when they found that the body appeared to be stuffed with bits of papyrus. Mummies were stuffed like this to keep them puffy, but this time they were surprised to find that the stuffing had Greek words written on it. A little investigation showed that the mummy was stuffed with a play called Achilles by Aeschylus.
You may not have heard of Aeschylus, but he was the Andrew Lloyd Webber of ancient Greece, one of the first great playwrights and author of an estimated 90 plays. The reason his name isn't as household as, say, Shakespeare is because his life's work was held in the Library of Alexandria, along with about a million other books we'll never read, since the library was burned down by people who hate words. But apparently somebody had a copy of this play lying around in their "scrap paper to stuff mummies with" bin.
Because no one else was gonna read those. Dicks.
And the work is surprisingly complete for something that was stuffed inside a dead guy for 2,000 years. With the help of a few experts to fill in the gaps, Achilles was actually performed in the theater in 2004, thanks entirely to someone who ironically thought so little of it that he used it to stuff granddad.
Either that, or certain forms of undead prefer paper to brains.
#1. The Books That Could Challenge the Bible
The Dead Sea Scrolls might seem like a once-in-a-lifetime discovery, but they recently lost their title as the most amazing Bible-related things found in a desert cave.
It's off to the toilet paper mines for you, scrolls.
Researchers recently came into possession of a number of books written on lead plates that appear to have been created by the earliest Christians just a few years after Jesus' death, and if so, they could possibly change everything we think we know about Christ and the founding of the church. That is, if they're actually real.
The story goes that, just like the Dead Sea Scrolls, a shepherd stumbled upon a cave in the Jordanian desert that contained up to 70 ring-bound metal books, each about the size of a credit card. So of course he sent them to his local museum to be authenticated, right? Actually, no, he sold them at the market for a few bucks, which is apparently what you do when you find priceless Biblical artifacts in a cave.
David Elkington, via The BBC
"Trade ya for an old VHS player."
After changing hands a few times, the artifacts now known as the Jordan Lead Codices finally found their way to a guy who was willing to let people study them. Or at least two of them. The rest he hoards and rubs with olive oil in a bizarre attempt to preserve them.
In the meantime, researchers are all aquiver about the mysterious codices. These wouldn't really be an older copy of the Bible, but writings that predate it -- insights from people writing about Jesus at the time of Jesus, and who may have even met Jesus (remember, the New Testament was written years or decades later). We don't know just yet, because the codices are written in such obscure Jewish tribal dialect that we can't translate much but for the odd word here and there.
David Elkington, via The BBC
A surprising number of which were "elephantine penis."
Oh, and then there are some scholars who think that the real reason we can't translate them is because they are bullshit forgeries written by someone who didn't understand much about the language they were trying to imitate. But as usual, we are reserving hope that there's a little bit of Indiana Jones magic in this world. In the meantime, we're heading to the Middle East, and we're bringing our cave-diving equipment.

Hi All,
I have Quadrilogy and I'm considering buying the newer Anthology set.
From what I know the newer set pretty much has everything the old set has plus a bunch more. But I've also seen it mentioned that the commentary on Alien is not the same (www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare2/alien.htm).
Can anyone confirm this?

HONOLULU, Hawaii (CNN) – Hawaii's governor announced Wednesday that Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz will fill the seat in the U.S. Senate left vacant after the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye.
Schatz, 40, is a former state legislator and executive of a nonprofit group.
Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie was widely expected to appoint Rep. Colleen Hanabusa to the seat. Hours before Inouye died of respiratory complications at age 88, he named Hanabusa as his preferred successor.
"Of course Senator Inouye's views and his wishes were taken into account fully," Abercrombie said. "But the charge of the central committee and by extension then myself as governor, was to act in the overall best interest of this party. …
"The law makes explicitly clear as does the rules of the Democratic Party, that … everyone's voice is heard and everyone's view is taken into account - nonetheless, no one and nothing is preordained," he continued.
Schatz said he would seek election to a full term in 2014, when a special election will be held to fill the spot until 2016, which would have been the end of Inouye's ninth term.
"I am honored to serve in this capacity, and I can assure you that if given the opportunity, I will make Hawaii proud," he said. "I'm going to work very hard, and I understand the road ahead is going to be challenging for all of us, but it also is potentially a hopeful time to rebuild as a united congressional delegation."
He was alongside Hanabusa's on a list of three names provided to Abercrombie by the state party earlier on Wednesday.
Schatz served in the Hawaii state Legislature from 1998 to 2006, including as the majority whip and in committee leadership positions involving the environment, education, and commerce.
As lieutenant governor, he has led efforts relating to clean energy as well as private and public investment in the state. He previously led one of the state's largest nonprofit social services organizations.
Schatz will immediately be faced with pressing business in Washington, where congressional leaders and President Barack Obama are negotiating a deal to avoid automatic year-end tax increases and spending cuts.
Obama was scheduled to fly back to Washington from his Christmas vacation in Hawaii on Wednesday night, and a White House official said Schatz would fly back with Obama.
He is expected to be sworn in on Thursday afternoon.
Inouye's Senate seat was vacant for a little over a week. Mindful of upcoming legislation in the Senate - including potential measures to avert the year-end fiscal cliff - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called on Abercrombie to name a successor as quickly as possible.
Abercrombie said that his decision was in the "overall best interest" of the state and that "sometimes you have to set aside personal considerations in order to look for the good of the whole."
"Now that Sen. Akaka has retired and Senator Inouye has passed away, that Representative Hanabusa occupies a key position on the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives," he said.
"She has an excellent reputation in the House of Representatives. I know that from my contacts with people that I've known for more than two decades in the house, she has the confidence of the minority leader and the leadership in the house and I think as well the question of establishing seniority in as many venues as we can with our small delegation is another foremost consideration."
The island state has two seats in Congress. The state's other congresswoman, Rep. Mazie Hirono, was elected to Akaka's seat in November.
With five decades in the Senate, Inouye had been the second-longest serving senator in U.S. history. He had represented Hawaii in Washington since statehood in 1959. He died December 17th.

I would like to shoot wide open with an f/1.4 lens. I have an Olympus e-510 with two kit lenses and I have been using them for three years. I have no prejudice (negative or positive) to any DSLR brand.
What combination of a DSLR and a lens of f/1.4 would you suggest so I can get good / best results wide open?
EDIT: Low light is the primary concern. Another one is realistic color.

This user (jowierun, also on superuser and a few places besides) is finding old questions related to document conversion and adding advertising for a document conversion product. Is this kind of promotion spam? Should they make their affiliation explicit? Should the 70-odd comments be deleted?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This is a bit of a weird one actually. I've gone through the last 10 or so posts of his and the thing is, even though he keeps plugging the same products, he is actually answering the questions.
The answers all seem to be relevant and I haven't noticed any blatant copy/pasting. And the products he keeps mentioning are all free or have free versions. I agree that it feels very spammy, but should we start flagging answers en masse that might actually be useful?
In cases like these, I think the deciding factor is, are these messages being "posted indiscriminately?"
Like any other post, I think you have to look at the content, and not the user or their intentions. Many users are here for some form of self-promotion or another. Just because this user's area of expertise happens to be his product, that does not necessarily mean his content is spam.
As long as the user's posts are on-topic, helpful, and custom-written for the question being asked, I don't see that we have cause for complaint.
To be honest, this seems more like an avid fan than a spammer (see various comments responding to specific instances mentioned). Even the linkedin.com profile you found omits any relationship to the Docmosis project you think he's spamming.
And if we can't tell the difference between an avid fan who actually addresses the questions asked and someone involved in self-promotion... leaving them be is fine by me, even if they are "spamming".
If you can find better examples of spam, however, please include a list in your question; I'm sure plenty of people will evaluate them. I'm not defending him, but I am asking you to give concrete examples.
I have no problem with the concept of people answering using products they have developed or even help pay their bills. In fact, I would encourage it – as long as those users actually respond to the questions asked and follow other conventions of the community. We want experts on the site, and many of those are people who work with these things for a living.

Trouble in the Universe [RP] - 01-03-2009, 03:05 PM
In the year 2742, in the Earth's parallel dimension, Yarth, all was going smoothly. Unlike our race of humans, Yarthians had recently accomplished world peace, and were still celebrating this joyous occasion. Suddenly, out of nowhere, aliens appearing to have features greatly resembling that of humans, came out of spaceships, claiming they had come in peace, and with terribly horrid news. Trouble had been brewing in the universe, and that trouble had made Yarth its target to destory.
Pandemonium broke out from all parts of Yarth, people of every age, shape, and size were scared for their lives. Some Yarthians did not belive these aliens, and thought they were bringing mass choas with them, ordering them to leave. However, these aliens did not leave, in fact, they refused to leave. Soon realizing that they were right, most of the Yarthians built homes underground, and in caves, not returning to the surface. The Yarthians that did not at first belive the aliens, have now sided with them, and are preparing to fight this trouble.
These aliens call themselves "Time Royals," and while they grow older, they never age. However, these "Royals" do drastically change apperance every 7 or so years. As the issues at hand come clear, Yarthians realize that the Time Royals were not lying. As time slowly dwindles down to the fateful day this trouble hits Yarth, what will you do? Will you, like most Yarthians, cower under-ground and in cave, or will you help the Time Royals defeat this trouble. Will Yarth ever be restored to its former self, complete with happiness and peace, or will it crumble in defeat at the feet of disaster?
1. Post In 3rd person, it makes it alot easier.
2. Romance is encouraged.
3. No Mary Sues.
4. There should be more Yarthians than Time Royals, you can't fit 5 billion Time Royals into one ship.
5. I do have a way of things might go, so don't go and say: "and then the Yarthians attacked the Time Royals, and the world ended." No. That was stupid anyways.
6. Have Fun :]
Character Form:
Age (17 - 21 please):
Strengths (up to 3):
Race (Time Royal, Yarthian):
My Character:
Name: Rose Conelly
Gender: Female
Age (17 - 21 please): 19
Strengths (up to 3): Athletic, humorous, creative
Weaknesses(3+): Impaitent, wants things her way, slow, stubborn, naive. Race (Time Royal, Yarthian): Yarthian
Rose walked out onto the empty street, walking around the giantic potholes and the fallen stret lamps. How did everything get like this? 3 months ago this place was brand new, tons of happy people every where, fun. This is all those stupid Time Royals fault. If it weren't for them, I'd still have a job. Not that it really matters anyway, you can just do whatever now. She paused, looking at the spaceship flying over head. Stupid Time Royals. She looked back into the sky, but the spaceship was gone. Trying to find the spaceship again, Rose tripped over one of the street lamps. "Stupid wreckless Time Royals." Rose said getting back up, and brushing the dirt off of herself, heading over to where City Hall used to be, it was now where the Yarthains who chose to help the Time Royals defeat the said "Trouble." I wonder why they haven't told us what the "giantic Trouble" is anyways, she thought to herself.
baby, you got me. ♥

I am looking to create a page in Wordpress to output links to all of our posts from every month since we launched the blog. I have seen the archive.php template file in Wordpress, but this seems to overwrite a lot of other pages too (search results, author results, etc.)
So my plan is to create a single page similar to this archives page example. I was going to write a separate function solely for this page in my functions.php file, then use a shortcode to call out the info. Is this the best approach, or could I be going about this another way? Would appreciate any help on the topic :)

Hi, I have just received my Pole Series 2 Complete from nodal ninja store last weekend. On Sunday I did my first pictures. I shoot with the pole in my hands, over the floor. I did auto-bracketing and obviously had to align the images before "enfusing" them. During the day its ok, but I want to shoot at night too, so I need to find a way to stabilize the pole for longer expositions.
To solve that I used:
- a tripod (dolica pro-line with independent legs)
- an aluminium piece to adapt the pole rotator to the tripod
- the pole rotator
- the pole
- a pano head I made in aluminium
- 3 nylon strings tied to the tripod feet
The stabilization "secret" are the strings. It is not easy to tied them, as I can't make strength with much force at once or it will bent, so I had to strength little by little each string.
I would like to exchange experiences and ideas with the group here on solutions to stabilize the poles.
Here is a pic of the mounted thing (click to see it bigger):
Thanks, Cartola.

Jacquelyn Martin, AP
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Thursday the nation's military leaders told him they are "ashamed" of their failure to end sexual abuse in the armed services. Obama pledged to "leave no stone unturned" in the effort to halt the abuse, which he said undermines the trust the military needs to be effective.
Obama also said he has asked Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey to lead a process to root out the problem.
"They care about this and they are angry about it," Obama said at the White House, after he summoned Hagel, Dempsey and other top defense leaders to discuss a problem thrust to the fore by recent misconduct cases and a Pentagon report showing that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year.
"I heard directly from all of them that they are ashamed by some of what's happened," Obama said.
Earlier Thursday, the Army's top officer acknowledged that his service is failing in its effort to stop sexual assaults.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, issued a public message to all soldiers in which he said the "bedrock of trust" between soldiers and their leaders has been violated by a recent string of misconduct cases.
He said the Army demonstrated competence and courage through nearly 12 years of war. "Today, however, the Army is failing in its efforts to combat sexual assault and sexual harassment," he wrote.
"It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment as our primary mission," Odierno said.
In remarks to reporters after the meeting, Obama also spoke about how sexual assault undermines the trust that men and women in uniform need to work as a team.
He said he wants the military and others to explore every good idea to fix the problem, saying "I want to leave no stone unturned." Obama said Hagel would consult with Congress as well as other militaries around the world.
Allegations of sexual assault in the military have triggered outrage from local commanders to Capitol Hill and the Oval Office. Yet there seem to be few clear solutions beyond improved training and possible adjustments in how the military prosecutes such crimes. Changing the culture of a male-dominated, change-resistant military that for years has tolerated sexism and sexist behavior is proving to be a challenging task.
"We're losing the confidence of the women who serve that we can solve this problem," Dempsey said Wednesday.
"That's a crisis," Dempsey said in remarks during a flight from Europe to Washington that were reported by the American Forces Press Service, which is the Pentagon's internal news agency. Dempsey suggested that a deepening of the sexual assault problem may be linked to the strains of war.
"I tasked those around me to help me understand what a decade-plus of conflict may have done to the force," he said. "Instinctively, I knew it had to have some effect."
Dempsey added: "This is not to make excuses. We should be better than this. In fact, we have to be better than this."
The Pentagon had scheduled a briefing for journalists Thursday with Hagel and Dempsey, but after the White House meeting was announced, the Pentagon news conference was postponed until Friday.
As new sexual assault allegations emerged this week involving an Army soldier who was assigned to prevent such crimes — the second military member facing similar accusations — the Pentagon said Hagel is working on a written directive to spell out steps aimed at resolving the escalating problem.

What is the relationship between Ubuntu and QT and Canonical? The coming Ubuntu phone looks interesting. Ubuntu seems to be interwoven with QT. If my company wants to write commercial C++ apps calling QT (or Ubuntu) libraries that my company has not modified, then I do NOT have to provide my company created source code with the app, correct? Thanks!
Does a company writing C++ apps have to share its source code if it calls unmodified QT or Ubuntu libraries?
Well, Qt is owned by Digia, not related to Ubuntu/Canonical.
Qt itself is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1. This allows you to create and redistribute your closed source apps very well, as long as you're dynamically linking to Qt, or adhere to the limitations of statically linking.
See also these Q&A on SO:
While your question is specifically about Qt, keep in mind that in case you are using other libraries in addition to it you will need to check the terms on those as well. Another library may require you to release the source, but Qt does not.
Qt is available in 3 diffrent licenses:
In most of the cases LGPL license is enough. If your app's source code is very critical contact a lawyer before choosing the license.

I can't believe how short the new "Gears of War: Judgment" is. Ifinished this humans-versus-aliens war in five hours — including coffee breaks.
But "Gears of War" games aren't about their solo campaigns as much as they are about the online multiplayer.
And the online multiplayer is sweet. So to understand the game online and offline, let's first dissect the offline solo campaign.
This is a prequel to the "Gears of War" trilogy in which humans fought aliens in a war. Humans won.
"Judgment" is set 15 years before that main "Gears" trilogy began. Aliens are murdering humans on, um, Earth, I guess.
No wait. "Gears" takes place on the Earth-like planet Sera. I always forget this. Earth, Sera, Earth, Sera — is there an artistic difference?
Anyway, so in this third-person shooter, you portray four different beefy troops who run in a pack, lumbering through concrete buildings and shooting aliens down corridors.
You don't just shoot aliens. One machine gun has a chainsaw on the end of it, so you can walk up to an alien and chainsaw his face and chest. That's gruesome.
You can acquire another machine gun with a big blade, so you can sprint toward an alien, shove that blade into his spine, lift him off the ground, then splatter him into several body parts. That's gruesome.
The plot: Who cares. There are mean aliens to kill.
The dialogue sounds like the following.
Beefy military guy says: "I'm gonna rescue Omega."
His beefy military comrade retorts: "That's a coincidence. So am I."
This droll dialogue could be funny if the actors had studied season five of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to mimic a proper technique of delivering silly retorts in unassuming understatements. Instead, the dialogue is as flat as the storyline.
During the first hour of "Judgment," I worried the guns would stink because it took me seven or eight shots to take out an alien. I thought, "When is a headshot not a headshot? Answer: When it doesn't do anything to the alien's head."
But as the game progressed, it became much easier for me on every level, and I breezed past battlefield after battlefield.
This is the easiest "Gears" yet. I simply sprinted forward to slay aliens, instead of abiding the old "Gears" mainstay of hiding behind corners.
Hold on, I don't even know why I'm droning on about the solo campaign. It's fine and pretty but short.
The meat is the online multiplayer. It has the same basic game play as the solo campaign, but naturally you're gaming against real players and not artificial intelligence.
The online multiplayer is good. I'm not a "Gears" fanboy because characters walk so slowly. But the multiplayer moves quite smooth, battle maps are nice, and after I re-learned "Gears" online, I was good enough at it.
However, let's be honest. I'm not going to remember anything about this game if you ask me about it a year from now. It's a well-executed distraction, a perfect rental.
("Gears of War: Judgment" by Microsoft retails for $60 for Xbox 360 — Plays fun, if short. Looks very good. Moderately challenging. Rated "M" for blood, gore, intense violence and strong language. Three out of four stars.)

How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?
Does anyone know a website that hosts javascripts on their page?
I have a research project that needs to collect some RTT from all over the world and compare them together. I have written the javascript code for that but I do not have a high hit rate website to put it on to collect data. I know it is a little bit odd question to ask, but do you know any website or any trick that can help me?
Note that the script would not do any harm to anybody! :-)
Decad is right, I basically need some people to put my script on their "high-hit rate" website ... so I can collect data from large number of clients...
Of coarse, the script is run on the background with no harm to the page. It basically measures some RTT and submit it to a server.
I already have some pages, but they barely got a hit from outside!
