Authenticated through unloc and was a smooth easy process ty sega/si i had my doubts bout this system u were using but turned out fine for me.
plus did anyone get some football manager trumps cards free with the game i did
Have you tried putting your code into
SI/Sega came up with this last night to help with the problems people were having!!
When you have a boxed version, do you have to install the game on your computer before you authenticate and get the update?
Any time for mac patch?
I have entered my code at least 20 times!! check the o' and 0s, and all the other similar letters and still it says invalid code!! how do I sort this please
Just got my game and before attemping the code I was just wondering whether the code has to be written in Capital letters? I'm guessing no but I don't wanna get it wrong lol
Hi, i asked this yesterday, but did not get an answer. I try to activate my game trough SoftAnchor, but it says unable to connect to internet. But as you see my internet connection is just fine and i have disabled my firewall.
i'm having exact same problem Krissern but everything anyone can think of just doent seem to work, on the plus side my call of duty game arrived so i can play that now while i wait for a fix
Tried registering the game with my key and all i get is this each time
We were unable to process your request. To receive a new key, please visit: http://www.sigames.com. Error: [-51
MINE WORKS! Switched to cable instead of wireless network.
i have just installed box version when to activate online, must have typed the code in wrong because got an error so clicked back changed my 0 to a o clicked forward now its been stuck on the 'initializing' screen for 10 minutes, f**king joke it really is do i shut the box and try again but will it promp me to register again i dont no
paid good money for this game and i expect the activation process to run smoothly
i'm gonna try unistalling it and steam and then install it again and see if it works this time. if that fails i'm leaving football manager till monday cus im working over weekend. hopefully by then therell be a fix for it. i'll report back if reinstalling works.
Anyone at SI or Sega any idea why I didnt have to authenticate my game when installing it on a second computer? Installed it, then installed patch and it started up without asking me to authenticate
anyone on SI gonna sort this p***in mess i cant activate every code i type in gives the same error as the guys above
Whomever's idea it was to use 0's and O's on the code needs shot.
This is a nightmare.
Steam didnt work. Couldnt connect to Library or something. No problems with my internet connection.
Steam = lack of
Just trying the Uniloc method and downloading the patch via the website.
For those having activation issues...
Try this it worked for me, it translates your code and you can copy and paste.
Excuse upper case please but THE MOST BASIC OF FONT RECOGNITION SYSTEMS PRINT 0 WITH A DIAGONAL BAR THOUGH IT AND O AS A PLAIN CIRCLE. PERHAPS SI SHOULD GET A STREET WISE 15 YR OLD TO ORGANISE THIS NEXT YEAR INSTEAD OF THE COUNTERPRODCUTIVE CLOWN(S) WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE THIS YEAR. JEEZ SUCH A SIMPLE THING COMPLETELY MESSED UP.
Thank God the game looks like the best yet in the series but these shortcomings will NOT be forgotten.
Do we have an ETA on the mac update?
Should it be this morning still or will it be tonight?
Got the game working now, do you have to load up Steam everytime you want to play Football Manager 2009, as I may want to play and don't have internet connection, I'm new too Steam.
i the code case sensitive? i enter my code into http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ and it says its fine although i only have 1 0/o and i change it and either is fine so assuming someones got the same code and one of us has a 0 one of us a o, still cant activate plus when i try to paste into the activation it only does the first box
I don't wish to annoy people who are struggling to work there game but to install my game and to activate the game it took about 10-15 minutes with no problems? Seems a really easy process and I did have a few 1's and i's etc...
Hope some of you get yours sorted though, can't imagine how frustrating it is.
i cant find the activation screen. I follow the link but i just get to www.sigames.com where shows news articles and about patch. Could anyone point me in right direction of activation screen? Thankyou
You do have to load steam but apparently it has an 'offline mode' which would work fine (I've never used it so I speak from what I've read rather than experience)
firewall disabled
copied my code from the http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/
and pasted it fine into the authentication screen, still getting the error 51
please help si
i have even made sure my time is correct to the second! still cannot activate..... WHY?!?!?
i reinstalled this time with uniloc and still when i click to play game a softanchor window comes up asking for product key after which it then says failed to connect to intenet. so both steam and uniloc both install it for me but it is this softanchor thing that prevents me fom playing
tigerhgrrrrr cheers mate i tried that but it dint work literally have one zero tried both still not able, where the fook are si you'd think this forum would be packed on release day
so frustrated!
Finally got my code working and now need to download a 483MB DLL update which is estimated to take 3 hours.
Must say this is a bit of a shambles.
What was wrong with a simple install and run?
just wondering could this softanchor internet connection problem i have be solved by doing the phone activation because my installation never mentioned activation phone numbers it just gives me an activate online option
yeah mine too i have no option to activate over the phone, uninstalling, downloading steam and going to try to activate through them
My problem is I have activated my game played it for a bit no problems and then I went back to play it and all I get is this, what a joke!!!!!!!!
I shouldn't need to sign up to a forum, trawl the net for a fix and upload an image to a ftp server all so I can show you guys the problem
I have bought this game legitimately, the least you can do is provide your customers with the service they payed you for!!
I look forward to your reply

yeh i activated through steam and it said my product was now activated but when clicked to launch game it keeps bringing up the Softanchor thing which no matter what will just not connect to internet
goofkdy i agree with your point 100% i went out of my way and paid for the game and cant play it! bloody joke
im still looking forward to a reply!
Probably already asked, any idea what time we can expect the Mac patch?
Now however the keycode doesn't work - first it said it was invalid so I used the keycode checker and had it spot on; retried it both small and caps case and now when I press Paste on the activation screen it simply pastes the last 5 characters into a new version of the screen
I have tried cancelling and re-doing but it keeps happening - I have tried re-booting and now the activation simply says its an incorrect code but again using the keycode thing you guys already made available the code I am using is spot on correct
can someone from SI please advise?
my soft anchor trial has expired and it seems that i can not activate my game.
after uninstalling and installing steam i managed to activate it through steam but judging from the comments above i wont be coming off it once iv finished because it looks like its f**king up!
No one has answered my question. If I want to move and play FM on another computer now, do I just copy the football manager 2009 folder over, or do I need to install steam as well, etc...? How does it work exactly? I hope I dont have to redownload.
no it installed and activated through steam and when i launched it from steam i was asked to activate so pasted the code steam gave me and it gave me the error :51
also says SoftAnchor Your trial period has EXPIRED maybe this is the problem this morning? any feedback SI?
also have no option to activate the game through the phone
www.sigames.com. :-)
which I did by the way for a brief couple of hours, only for me to log out
and then log back into the game only for the activation code request screen to appear and ask for my key which already been registered
Seems a bit strange to me
Good luck guys, because I think its going to be a while before all the issues are fixed
When will the Mac Patch come on? Paided the money for the game and now just want to play it!
Can you at least give us an idea when it will be ready for today? I don't want to waste a day waiting in front of my Computer.
Please any info would be great!
FFS SI were are you on this morning of release? i CANNOT activate ready my many posts above i have tried every solution you reccomend!!!!!
I would imagine the staff who have come in are in a crisis managment/briefing session furiously trying to figure out whasts going on and what they are going to do next!
That is unless they have all go to visit the people responsible for printing the activation codes!
If you post or PM me a description of your error I will try and help you.
Awesome SI ! - great laterall solution to a genuine consumer problem!
After 90mins fannying around am now in the game and the goalpost shadows make me feel all warm inside! Hope you all get it up & running soon. Word of advice for parents tho, do not buy this game as an Xmas pressie - your child will be crying with disappointment due to the awkward long winded initial set up and it will ruin your breakfast time.
However last night it just rang and rang and rang rang I did have a number for chap at SI last nite but I know he isnt working at moment and therefore wont punish him by posting it!
Sege Europe Customer Services Non Geographic number 0208 9964430
i tried ringing the helpline....engaged lol typical
the problem for me is activation i have the correct keycode pasted in but every time i get error 51 tried all their recoomendations, installed it through steam and it activated through them but then when prompted by softanchor ,as before, it gives me the error, now onto my 3 re-install to try it again!!
Hate steam so much, nice one for keeping us all controlled SI this is the thanks for millions of us who buy your product year in year out? Do I have to have Steam running in the background all the time? If this is the case I'll be returning the game to the shop and going back to FM08
for EVERYONE having problems is you SoftAncher saying that your trail period has expired?????
Blackbag that is indeed true in mycase
money hero i feel your pain.....
WTF, is the game only installed through Steam? I can't find a shortcut on my PC to launch the game
i'm guessing its a problem with SoftAnchor the b*astards
Guys do i need to activate it online if i bought a hard copy or just enter the code? I dont need that steam thing right?
Uninstall or try deleting this directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009 Certificate on XP and/or C:\Program Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009 Certificate on Vista
Then try to activate again - that should clear it up. Remember - make sure the directory ends in "Certificate"
Does anyone know if it's possible to launch FM after you've installed it without using Steam? I don't want to have to log into it every time I play
I will give it a try guys I will let you know how I get on - thanks for the prompt reply
It worked for me, from a personal point of view STEAM is not the issue here for me personally it was SOFTanchor
I have bought countless games from steam as my previous screen shots provided shows, it really is great peice of software - HONEST
anyway the bad news now that FM is back up and running I need to go shopping with the Mrs d'oh
Good Luck Guys
Last edited by goofkdy; 14-11-2008 at 11:52.
ok so blackbag got a quick reply what about those having problems actually activating it?
just run FM to get prompted by the activation screen mate
God this is seems like a nightmare. I've just bought the boxed game and will try it when I go home. All this to play a bloody game, it really is ridiculous.
still no word and why i cant activate SI?
its pay day for you so is it through sheer ignorance that there is no reply or are you not bothered and playing COD world at war because thats what im doing as soon as i get home
RAGING, cant read the damn code it just keeps saying invalid code
What a surprise that the new Steam activation is a total farce!
http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ put your code in their and it will give you your correct code, mine did
altough still wont let me activate
I have boxed version and have authenticated throught steam its now in process of updating(patch I presume) how do I get to data editor and installed files on my computer or do I have to run Steam if so how do I data edit? please help getting very frustrated here
What the Shxt !!! I just buy this game in Hong Kong. The "25 characters" Football Manager 2009 Keycode is adhered at the back of the game manual.
I have tried all the possible code....I have no "O" or "0", only have one "I" (maybe "1" or "L") but I have already tried all of it. Nothing but Invalid Product Code.
I don't have a scanner to scan my manual / receipt, if I have to contact the STEAM support, do I really have to buy a SCANNER for it?
Actually, I am extremely angry now !!!!!!! Anyone can help ??
oh yeh baby im in!! Cheers Devil

November is Native American Heritage Month
Once upon a time, Native Americans roamed our wetlands, fished our estuaries, and camped along our riverbanks. Many small Native American groups lived in the area. These former residents left behind shell middens, pottery shards, and their words upon our landscape: Wimbee, Combahee, Kussoh, Yamasee, Pocotaligo, Coosawhatchie, Daufuskie, Salkehatchie. The groups were rather small and unorganized, key factors in the ability of European newcomers to successfully take advantage of them. Although the Native American tribes populating our area when the Europeans arrived have long since either died out or moved on, their legacy continues.
November is Native American Heritage Month in the U.S. To honor this national month of commemoration and acknowledgment of the contribution of Native Americans, we're posting historical tidbits about the lowcountry Indians on our Facebook http://www.facebook.com/BDC.BCL page throughout November.

Product Details
Just because winter's over doesn't mean you have to say good-bye to cashmere. Delicate and feminine, this classic cardigan is made of feather-light, tissue-soft cashmere in a 14-gauge knit. We work with one of the best Italian mills to create our famously soft cashmere—treat yours with love and it will last forever.
Size & Fit Details
Italian featherweight cashmere cardigan sweater
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 40 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pitz Great basic cardigan; quality could be improved. I have a couple of these cardigans and they're a great, easy addition to any wardrobe, particularly if you wear a lot of dresses. This is not a cardigan you layer over your button down shirt; it works well over camisoles or dresses. Sizing: if you're between J Crew sizes, you may want to size up as the sleeves are a bit tight. I do wish the quality were better - they're soft and beautiful, but they pill after the first time you wear them. At this price point, I'd like to see them hold up better. May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JS18 Excellent basic - stylish too This is my second Featherweight Cashmere cardigan. I bought one last year as well. These are excellent for wearing with dresses as they are more fitted than many basic cardigans and therefore do not overwhelm the frame or look too casual with the dress. I'm sure it would be great with dress pants, a skirt or jeans too. But I have had a lot of trouble finding the right sweater for a dressier occasion and this is perfect to keep you warm and still look appropriate. I also love that it truly is featherweight so it can be packed in a purse that isn't too small. I think the sweater runs small. I normally wear sz. S in JC sweaters and took a Medium in this one. I might have been able to get away w/my regular size, but the sleeves felt tight and I think it looks better with a little more room. So far, the quality seems okay, although it's not a sweater I wear on a constant basis. It is delicate, so you do have to handle carefully. June 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by 4cashmere Feather weight cashmeres I own four of them. They are not perfect. Three of them have required repair work. The buttons fell off one of them. The other two had been had been worn less than six times and the seam on the cuff and around the back of the neck opened. The store happily had them repaired but this required several trips to the store for drop off and pick up. I haven't worn the fourth one yet. July 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by sweaterlover Must have but won't last I love this sweater but within a year it started getting holes as do many of the sweaters I purchase here. That being said I love the snug fit and classic style and always need a little extra warmth. I have not been able to find a sweater this perfect for me anywhere so I am trying it again to replace my older one hoping I have better luck with this one. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nemo Great Cardigan, wrong color I already own this lovely cardigan in a lilac hue, and absolutely love the soft texture and the body hugging fit. However, often the item's colors in person differ a lot from what they look like online :( Therefore, the red hue I wanted to love looked pretty orange in person, which was not what I expected. Sadly had to return, but will wait for other colors. May 11, 2014

Getting Up To Speed With…Jon DeBenedetti
By Ben Deatherage
During last week we talked to drivers that will compete in the 2013 Wild Wild West Modified Shootout but today we have the Series Director Jon DeBenedetti, yes that Jon DeBenedetti. One of the Pacific Coast's most decorated Dirt Modified drivers. For the second straight year "Jon D" will be involved with the IMCA Modified series as its Series Director.
The Rogue River, Oregon pilot is a four-time (in a row) winner of the Cottage Grove Speedway Modified Nationals, has won the Shipwreck Beads Northwest Modified Nationals at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington three times, is a former winner of the Lon Skinner Memorial at White City's Southern Oregon Speedway, and also is a former winner of the Dirt Track Shootout at the Chowchilla Speedway in California. In addition to his major events that he has won he also was the Southern Oregon Speedway track champion in 2002 and is the current track record holder.
Name: Jon DeBenedetti
Position: Series Director
Hometown: Rogue River, OR
Occupation: Project Manager
Years Involved In Racing: 36
Age: 39
BD: You're running this series for the second straight year. Are you excited?
JD: Absolutely, I feel honored. I had a lot of fun last year. I really want to see this thing prosper and make it better for the racers.
BD: How hard is it to see all this good racing and not be on the track with them?
JD: Very difficult. But being the Series Director is the next best thing.
BD: From your point of view what is the biggest challenge these guys face?
JD: I think its patience and not getting over anxious and wad a car up. The key is building not rebuilding. When I say that I mean that you can get some good momentum from night to night by building off your results and getting better and better. Whereas if you're getting in wrecks constantly or going backwards it's very difficult to establish consistency.
BD: How did you get to the position of Series Director?
JD: Last year when I was running Southern Oregon Speedway I was approached by John Skinner and asked if I would like to run it. John and I thought it would be a good mix between the tour and the drivers.
BD: Out of your entire decorated career what would you say is your favorite race either as a director or a participant?
JD: Hands down the $100,000 to win Alltel 100 at Batesville Speedway in Arkansas back in 2004.That was when I was driving for Ron Martin and we went back there and qualified second out of three hundred cars. You had anybody that was anybody in Dirt Modified and Late Model racing at that race. We ended up finishing eleventh in the feature.
The Wild Wild West Modified Shootout will visit the Cottage Grove Speedway on Wednesday June 19th. Tickets for Adults/Seniors/Juniors (13-17)/Military are $8.00, Youths (6-12) $5.00, Children 5 and Under FREE, and a whole CAR LOAD will get you into the races for $25.00. Brian Poppa won the first installment in 2011 and Jesse Williamson is the defending champion.
2013 Wild Wild West Modified Shootout Schedule:
June 15th – Grays Harbor Raceway (Elma, Washington)
June 16th – OFF
June 17th – Sunset Speedway (Banks, Oregon)
June 18th – Willamette Speedway (Lebanon, Oregon)
June 19th – Cottage Grove Speedway (Cottage Grove, Oregon)
June 20th – Coos Bay Speedway (Coos Bay, Oregon)
June 21st – Siskiyou Motor Speedway (Yreka, California)
June 22nd – Southern Oregon Speedway (White City, Oregon)

Kohl's: 20% off and free shipping on $75+
coupon code: GIFT4U
Yep, it's another Kohl's coupon code. Use GIFT4U through 23 March. And ebates has got 6% cash back, as well.
3 Comments add a comment
Is this one of their 'Sign for _ and get a 20% off coupon' coupons?
@sumduud: Nope. Standard coupon code. Although it might be stackable if you have one of the "sign-up" codes.
I found another code online - SMS6953 - which is supposed to give 20% off and free shipping regardless of how much/little you spend. When I used it, it initially only gave me the 20% off - but following advice I'd read elsewhere, I called Kohls to complete my order and they added in the free shipping for me.
Just for reference - my total originally was $80.97
20% off that knocked off $16.19 - which brought me below the amount which normally gives everyone free shipping for purchases over $75. So of course, online it was then going to charge me $10.95 for shipping & $3.89 for tax, for a total of $79.62.
By taking the 4 minutes to call them, I got the free shipping - and my total came to $68.67
My husband will be thrilled with his three new pair of jammie pants, and I'm thrilled to have gotten the extra savings!

I have a lot of optional fields in Mongoid, like:
field :key, type: String
field :element, type: String
field :rect, type: Array
If I return a json of this model with only one of them filled I get
null values on all the other fields. How can I remove those fields?
My model has nested attributes, which means null values can be on several levels.
I need a way to remove null fields from the json representation of a model, including null fields in all nested attributes.
Code Example:
1.9.3-p0 :005 > u=Muse.new(:key=>'ram').to_json
=> "{\"_id\":\"4f1ced749c2ee4219d000003\",\"element\":null,\"key\":\"ram\",\"rect\":null}"

What is a good way to define "state", as in state variable or state machine, to a new (previously non) programmer? What are some good ways to explain why this concept is useful for writing software? Is the concept of state explicitly taught in beginning programming courses or books commonly?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
From Wikipedia:
That's pretty much what it means in a computing context: the data that defines the condition of some object or system.
The meaning of 'state' isn't specific to programming. There are examples of 'state' literally everywhere you look. The television is off. The coffee is hot. The sneakers are a) blue; b) smelly; c) not put away; d) quite worn out. 'state' in a programming sense is just the same as 'state' in a non-programming sense, except we apply it to the objects that we deal with: variables, objects, threads, databases, file systems, etc. If you have to explain it, explain it in terms that are familiar -- there's no need to make it into a foreign, technical concept.
A clock is a good example of a simple system that has some state: a clock can be running or not running, and it indicates a time which may or may not correspond to the actual time of day. It's pretty easy to see how those things are like variables and how changing the state of the clock might impact other things.
Compare that to something stateless, like a statement: "The door is red." The statement itself doesn't have state. It may or may not be true that the door is red, but the statement itself doesn't contain any state. Painting the door can change the truth of the statement, but the statement itself never changes. Similarly, a number like 42 doesn't have any state: 42 is 42 and there's nothing you can change about it.
Variables have state, values don't.
"state" is needed, when you need to remember something. Functions (not "methods" or whatever) ideally only depend on their inputs. If you ask a question where the answer can change over time, even if the inputs are the same, you need something to remember that difference in the answer, correct? Otherwise, you are unable to give a different answer because no other factors have changed (let's assume the answer does not depend on time directly).
That "thing/information" that you need to remember is called "state".
(it is not requiered that this "state" changes over time, it's basically just a way to say "remembering/knowing something")
State is information your program manipulates to accomplish some task. It is data or information that gets changed or manipulated throughout the runtime of a program. The "state" of a program at a given time refers to a snapshot of all the data the program is currently looking at or analyzing to get to the next step in it's execution.
My university started with Scheme, so we started programming with a state-less model. We then switched to C and were very explicit about what state is, why it's useful, and why it makes things potentially very complicated. So some universities certainly talk about state, but not necessarily all of them
You can use the analogy of a traffic light which can be in one of three states: [GREEN], [YELLOW] or [RED]. It must only be in one state at a time. The traffic light is the actual state machine being modelled. It will normally transition its state from [GREEN to YELLOW], then [YELLOW to RED], then [RED to GREEN].
An alternative state transition (which is in effect in some countries like UK, has two transitions of [RED to YELLOW, then YELLOW to GREEN] in place of the [RED to GREEN] transition.

Is there a deep study that suggests to place a scrollbar on the right? Personally I move it to the left whenever it's possible (firefox allow this, as well as xterm and emacs).
I know that placing a scrollbar on the left is considered useful only while typing in "right-to-left" languages like Hebrew, but premises for this are unknown for me.
Looking on screenshots of NeXT desktop, for example, one can see, that scrollbars are always on the left side and there are only English characters.

This Land is Made for Golf: Tom Doak's New Nebraska Course
More fine courses are rising out of the remote Nebraska Sandhills
Mullen, Neb.
For the last stage of my five-hour drive from the Denver airport to the Dismal River Golf Club, Google maps offered two options. The recommended route was paved but 37 miles longer than the route I chose, a sand track through the Sandhills of Nebraska that I quickly learned I would be sharing with herds of Angus cattle. More than once, complacent cows brought my rented Nissan Sentra to a halt.
Getting to Dismal River is part of the experience. Even via the paved route, the last 17 miles is on a one-lane road over wavelike dunes through one of the country's most sparsely populated counties. Hooker County has 727 people in 721 square miles, most of them living in Mullen, population 505.
Why build a golf course here? The sand-based grassland is perfect for golf. Except for the absence of a coastline, this is Scottish-style linksland.
I ventured to Dismal last week to see Tom Doak's new Red Course. Doak, whose best know works include Pacific Dunes in Oregon and Barnbougle Dunes in Australia, has designed one other course in the great American Sandhills, Ballyneal in Eastern Colorado. It ranks No. 6 on Golfweek's list of the best modern U.S. golf courses, five spots behind No. 1 Sand Hills Golf Club, which sits just 15 miles as the crow flies from Doak's new course and is also on the Dismal River.
Sand Hills, which opened in 1995, pioneered the concept of golf in the middle of nowhere. Like Dismal River and Ballyneal, it is private with many wealthy members and guests, some of whom fly into North Platte, 60 miles away, on personal jets. But among the club's earliest friends was Mike Keiser, who went on to develop the public and wildly successful Bandon Dunes golf resort on a theretofore desolate stretch of Oregon coastline. The Prairie Club, open to the public 75 miles northeast in Valentine, Neb., is a similarly remote, high-quality facility with two 18-hole courses and a 10-hole short course.
At Dismal River, the clubhouse and lodging fan out like a 19th-century cavalry outpost atop a high dune. The lugubriously named river itself, fed by the vast Ogallala Aquifer, flows year round at a constant rate and near the same, high-50s temperature. Doak's course, which joins an existing Jack Nicklaus-designed course, starts out through open grassland but descends to the river for a big finish opposite big-shouldered dunes that rise some 300 feet above the stream.
"The cliché about designing a course in the Sandhills is that you can see [potential] golf holes in almost any direction you look," Doak told me. "There's some truth to that. The land is fascinating because there are undulations that never end. But the land is also deceptive. A lot of the holes you see don't work out. You walk out 200 yards and find a blind ridge. Or a feature that seems like it's 300 yards away is actually 800 yards. Or you find a great hole but you can't go right from there to the tee of another hole that works."
Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, who designed Sand Hills, worked 21/2 years to finalize their routing. On display in the Sand Hills clubhouse is a working draft of the course's layout that Coore carried folded up in his pocket. It highlights the 18 ultimate holes but also shows 34 others that were mapped but rejected. In the end, 14 of Sand Hills's green sites needed no shaping whatsoever, just planting with bentgrass.
At Doak's Dismal River course, more than half the green sites also needed no work. That's part of why golf in the Sandhills is economically viable. Doak, like Coore and Crenshaw, is known as a minimalist designer and moved very little earth in constructing the course. The sand base allows the course to drain like a sieve after rain, averting the costly drainage problems that plague many courses. All in, the new Dismal course cost just $2.5 million to build, including wells and irrigation. Sand Hills, almost two decades ago, cost less than $1 million.
To play any of these courses is to connect with the land in a way you never could otherwise, short of owning a ranch. Many of the bunkers at Doak's Dismal course are natural "blowouts," in some cases enlarged or enhanced, originally fashioned by wind, erosion and the movement and sheltering of livestock. (Golf's first bunkers, on the ancient Scottish links courses, were formed in the same way.) Instead of using church spires and tall trees as aiming points, as golf architects always have, Doak lines up greens in front of distant blowouts in the hills, or on No. 13, a primordial bison run through a notch in a bluff. For the long par-four finishing hole, with the faraway hilltop clubhouse as backdrop, Doak placed tee boxes on several natural spits of land within earshot of the gurgling Dismal River. The drives have to carry over lush marshland.
How does the new course compare to the other courses in the Sandhills? It bests Dismal's Nicklaus course, with its funhouse greens, vertical leaps and bounds and frequent blind shots. (Both, by the way, are more than a mile by golf cart from the clubhouse.) As for the renowned Sand Hills, it took gumption for Doak to take the assignment so close by. He certainly succeeded in one of his goals, which was to differentiate his course.
"One thing about the Sandhills courses is that after a while the holes can start to blur and become harder to remember, because you're just dealing with undulations," Doak said. "It's the same thing with desert golf. The holes look dramatic and they can be good, but after a while they start to look the same. All these courses are a journey through a landscape, but at Dismal the landscape changes a lot more than on the other ones," Doak said.
There are limits to how many courses the Sandhills can sustain, starting with the available workforce. Sand Hills has done a good job of nurturing relations with the ranching culture that surrounds it. Country music's Larry Gatlin, while visiting Sand Hills, sung the national anthem at a Mullen high school football game not long ago, and the club throws a big bash for its local employees after the club closes each fall for the winter.
The economic model of the clubs is also a limitation. Most members, many but not all from the Midwest, belong to other clubs back home and visit the Sandhills only two or three times a year in foursomes. The food is good but accommodations are spartan.
But for those who can afford it, golf at these retreats is extraordinary. I found myself looking outward from the courses almost as much I looked inward to admire the holes. To stand in the middle of such vastness—a largely intact wilderness, still mostly unaltered by modern civilization, where Native Americans roamed for centuries—is a unique experience.

My iPhoto library recently became corrupted to the point iPhoto wouldn't load and none of the repair options would fix it (those that come up if you are pressing option+command when you launch iPhoto).
I restored a copy of my iPhoto library from time machine and noticed it was half the size of my current iPhoto library (I looked at about 10 different backup sets sampled across 6 months). Looking in the package contents and comparing the two - in the Masters folders, the folders under the years before 2011 were missing in the restored copy. The thumbnails were all there but a warning symbol was shown in place of the picture when I tried to view an old photo.
It's all fixed now, which I did by by copying the contents of the partial restore (sans the Master folder) into original iPhoto Library. The very next backup seems to have picked up all the pictures so problem "solved", but I don't know why but I suspect the iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 upgrade.
I'm not exactly sure when I upgraded iPhoto from '09 to '11 - "Get Info" on the app package says created oct of '10, most of the files in the package have a create date of march 12th '12 (an upgrade date?) - the symbolic links however, say Jan 8th '11, which is the day before the oldest picture in the backup set. So my best guess is that the issues that plagued the iPhoto '09 to '11 upgrade manifested themselves as a backup problem for me. I say this because some have indicated the iPhoto upgrade problem was a permissions problem. One of the options I selected to recover my iPhoto Library was "Repair permissions", maybe this fixed my backup problem.
What I'm really after is, can time machine be messed up by incorrect permissions? Is this only an iPhoto problem or are other bits of my backups incomplete? How can I find out w/o doing a complete restore and test every single restored file (I had to view 16 thousand+ photos to verify the iPhoto Library fix I did). Just because the thumbnail cache is good and I see pictures in the events, it doesn't mean the photos will be there when I go to view them.

FOLLANSBEE - For the 18th year the city of Follansbee was recognized as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Foundation during an Arbor Day program Wednesday involving children from Follansbee Middle School and city officials.
"In Follansbee, we've been connected with Arbor Day for a long time," said Tony Paesano who, as mayor emeritus, represents the city on such occasions.
He was joined by Mayor David Velegol Jr. in accepting the honor.

ARBOR DAY REMEMBERED — Children at Follansbee Middle School, city officials and Bob Hannah, urban forestry coordinator for the West Virginia Division of Forestry, observed Arbor Day Wednesday with a program that included a tree planting near the school and recognition of winners of an Arbor Day poster contest. With their winning entries are, from left, Civanna Tomes, who placed first; Destiny Huggins, second; and Michael Mitchell, third. Behind them are Follansbee Mayor Emeritus Tony Paesano, Mayor David Velegol and Hannah. -- Contributed
Bob Hannah, urban forestry coordinator for the West Virginia Division of Forestry, was on hand to present to city officials a banner noting the honor, which is presented to cities with a tree board or department, an ordinance and budget for the care of trees on city property and a yearly observance of Arbor Day.
A regular part of that yearly observance is the planting of one or more trees by children from the school. Before they set about planting a tree near the city's softball field, Hannah recognized local winners of an Arbor Day poster contest in which pupils were challenged to create an image promoting the benefits of planting trees.
They were Civanna Tomes, who placed first; Destiny Huggins, second; and Michael Mitchell, third. Tomes received a $50 savings bond and all received gift certificates from McDonald's.
All of the fifth-graders were given saplings by Hannah to take home and plant.
Hannah also discussed the origin of Arbor Day, noting it was started in 1872 by J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska newspaper editor.
Hannah said Arbor Day now is celebrated in Nebraska on April 22, Morton's birthday, and is observed nationally on the last Friday of April. But the West Virginia Division of Forestry has named May Arbor Month in recent years, he said.
Performing the national anthem for the event was the Follansbee Middle School Band under the direction of Jason Dean, the school's band director.

Let $S$ be a subset of $\{0,1\}^n$ such that any two elements of $S$ are at least (Hamming) distance 5 apart. I'm looking for an upper bound on the size of the automorphism group of $S$.
There's a trivial upper bound of $2^nn!$ (the number of automorphisms of $\{0,1\}^n$), and an easy lower bound of $2^{n/5}(n/5)!$ (take S to be all elements of the form $xxxxx$, where $x$ is a bitstring of length $n/5$).
Any bound of the form $n!/n^{cn}$ for any $c>0$ would be helpful.

Is there any condition on a commutative ring $R$ so that the global dimension of $R$ coincides with the supremum of the global dimensions of the localizations $R_{\mathfrak{m}}$ at all maximal ideals $\mathfrak{m}\subset R$? I'm looking (if possible) for conditions which are easy to verify.
This problem is discussed at length in T.Y. Lam's Lectures on Modules and Rings. The hyperlink should take you to the Theorem in question (5.92 in section 5G). The point is that for a commutative noetherian ring $R$ you get the result you wanted and also more:
The proof Lam gives avoids the machinery of Ext, using instead the fact that the global dimension of a commutative noetherian local ring is the injective dimension (also the projective dimension) of its residue field.
Note that the noetherian assumption really is necessary. On page 197, Lam points out that B. Osofsky has constructed some interesting examples (he gives details) which I suspect would show this theorem fails without the noetherian hypothesis.
If one of the localizations isn't regular, then both $R$ and that localization have infinite global dimension, so it's trivially true in that case.
So we can reduce to the case that $R$ is regular. Then Spec($R$) can't have irreducible components intersecting. Since the global dimension of a regular local ring is just its dimension, we need to require that all connected components of Spec($R$) have the same dimension.
So let's focus on the case when $R$ is a regular domain. We need to know that all maximal ideals have the same height. If we assume that $R$ is a quotient of a polynomial ring over a field, then this true. There are probably counterexamples otherwise.

Spanning 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million square miles) of the archipelagic waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste the Coral Triangle has the highest coral and reef fish diversity globally and provides vital spawning grounds for whales, turtles and other charismatic species. And one third of the people depend on these waters for their livelihoods.
These abundant and valuable marine and coastal resources are under threat from unsustainable fishing, rapid population growth and the effects of climate change. The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) is an agreement forged between the countries of the Coral Triangle to work together to combat these threats and sustain this extraordinary environment and all it provides to human well-being.
As a founding partner of the CTI since its inception in 2007, Conservation International (CI) works with governments, communities and other stakeholders to help them achieve sustainable change.
Following the first guiding principle of the CTI — "Support people-centered biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, poverty reduction and equitable benefit sharing" — our focus is on empowering people to sustainably manage marine ecosystems so they can support their well-being, now and into the future. Our guidance has been requested by partners, communities and governments, allowing us to work across sectors and at all levels. By connecting the efforts in-country to the wider region, we are ensuring that successes are amplified, creating momentum from the ground-up for changes that last.
At the regional level, we are strengthening coordination and knowledge sharing among CTI governments, representatives and managers, aiming to help the region fully progress toward the widespread implementation of Seascapes: large-scale, ecosystem-based approach to marine resource management, with a strong focus on climate change adaptation. CI also facilitates a regional exchange and collaboration, and works to integrate successes and lessons learned into management guidelines that can be adapted and shared throughout the region.
At the local level, we are building the capacity of local communities, governments and stakeholders to sustainably manage their own marine and coastal resources. Community-based projects in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste help individual people and communities to provide for themselves through the sustained wealth of their natural resources. CI also has a particular focus on Seascapes policy and implementation, marine protected area management, promoting sustainable livelihoods, developing management plans and creating practices that are low cost, feasible within the biological, social and political context of the each geography, and will prepare communities for the impacts of climate change.
Through the collaborative support of the Australian Government, USAID, and others, thousands of people throughout the Coral Triangle have been trained in natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. CI worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop these trainings.
Through hard work and perseverance, CI has built a unique, powerful and self-sustaining model for protecting marine and coastal resources in Timor-Leste, earning government approval for long-term funding of community-based management in the Nino Konis Santana National Park and setting a precedent for the rest of the country.
CI's work in Timor-Leste has been pivotal in strengthening the relationships between the state government and civil society. These links have enabled the sustainability of collaborative marine and coastal resource management in the Nino Konis Santana National Park. In 2012 and 2013, CI led the design and trial of a collaborative management model with the National Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture, community leaders and fishermen in three coastal communities of the park. CI involved the government at all stages of the project by showcasing successes and running workshops with government and community members to break down communication barriers and highlight ways of moving forward toward a more sustainable model of resource management.
In January 2014, the government of Timor-Leste approved the allocation of ongoing funds in the fisheries sector budget to bring this community-based management model to life and support the government's plan to advance the co-management of fisheries nationwide. This unique approach to community management has enabled the Timorese government to be involved in the development, design and execution of the management model and provide the funding to make the model self-sustaining.
In Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay, the Nuakata Iabam-Pahilele Community Managed Marine Area (NIPCMMA) is more than a band of concerned citizens — a local government law passed in November 2011 grants the community legal authority to perform their own biological monitoring, management, fundraising and reporting.
Community members from Nuakata and Iabam-Pahilele worked with CI to develop NIPCMMA, and now these communities are helping to do the same for nearby Wiyaloki, Netuli and Panabala, as exchanges have brought community members together to share their hands-on experience and advance their monitoring and management techniques. During past exchanges, several Wiyaloki community members were young people, which brought a new dynamic to the trainings. Seeing themselves as trainers and leaders for future generations gave added meaning to the important work, according to the participants. Community concern and responsibility for the area means that motivation to keep the marine area active is high. These trainings, facilitated by Nuakata for Wiyaloki, Netuli and Panabala, are the first examples of communities teaching communities in Milne Bay. With interest increasing from other island groups throughout the province, the opportunities for communities to serve as teachers and ambassadors to their peers for effective community-based management will continue to grow.

WEIRTON - The Weirton Area Port Authority signed off Thursday on designating Kokosing Construction for port development projects, but only after being assured local workers and subcontractors would be used whenever it makes sense.
Board members Santo Santoro and Mark Glyptis said local jobs and local companies need to benefit from any growth opportunities generated by the port development.
"Mark and I came on board for one thing, to create jobs," Santoro said. "I want to make sure of two things: I'd like to have contractors who are union, and if we ever get to the point where there's hiring, I don't want to tie ourselves up with an outfit where you'd have the workers living outside Fredericktown, Ohio, Brooke County and Hancock County."
Glyptis added that it's their job to "look out for the area."
"Job creation is important," he said. "We have tremendous opportunity here. Unemployment is high, look at what's happened in the steel industry."
Port Chairman B.J. DeFelice said they chose Fredericktown, Ohio, based Kokosing because it has expertise in marine projects and is familiar with Coast Guard and Department of Transportation requirements.
"Part of the contract is building a pier wall," he said. "Kokosing is experienced (in that area)."
He said local contractors will be used whenever possible. James White Construction, for instance, is already working on the storm sewer project.
"The operations aspect is going to be where all the (permanent) jobs are going to be created," he said, adding that during the construction phase the contract with Kokosing specifies using local workers and subcontractors whenever possible.
In other business, DeFelice said they'd been notified the port is eligible to apply for leftover funding from the Coast Guard port security grant project as well as U.S. Department of Transportation funding.
The Coast Guard funding could be used for training and security projects, including cameras, but they have just a week to prepare and submit the application.

Is Prostate Screening Right for Me?
Statistics show that universal prostate screening may cause more harm than good for the majority of men. But what if you're in that minority percentage that could benefit? Should you take a chance?
Among American men, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer (after skin cancer), and the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) [1]. Although the number of men with prostate cancer is large, most diagnosed men do not die from it.
Screening for prostate cancer has become a routine part of many men's annual physicals. But studies show that a substantial percent of the prostate cancers detected this way will not grow, or will grow so slowly that lifespan is not threatened: these men will die with prostate cancer, not of it.
In fact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF) no longer recommends routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening for prostate cancer. The American Urological Association recently stated that men 55-69, should consider PSA testing only after discussing the benefits and harms of screening with their doctors, and that screening for men of average risk between 40-55, and for men under age 40 is not recommended. [2]
PSA screening is not perfect, but it is the best test we have. Before the blood test for PSA levels became available in the 1990s, 20 percent of men with prostate cancer already had serious metastatic disease by the time they were diagnosed; less than 4 percent do now. Given the high stakes involved, why wouldn't you opt for PSA screening-what if you happen to have the aggressive form of prostate cancer?
Prostate screening complications: causing harm?
While PSA screening can detect possible signs of early-stage prostate cancer, PSA levels can be elevated due to causes other than cancer, and there is no way to distinguish the dangerous from the slow growing tumors. Studies do not show that screening is saving lives, and many people are unaware of the risks associated with early detection and treatment. The USPTF report cautions that the benefits of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer may not outweigh the possible harms, which include:
- false-positive PSA test results are associated with negative psychological effects, including persistent worry about prostate cancer
- unnecessary treatment for cancers that most likely will not cause death or even symptoms (for older men, men with serious illness, younger men without symptoms)
- unnecessary biopsies with possible complications (pain, bleeding, impotence, incontinence)
- infections
Is prostate cancer screening right for me?
Dr. Elias Hyams, a NCCC prostate-cancer specialist and researcher, advises a "risk adaptive" approach to PSA screening. "What we haven't done well in the past is screen the right patients," he says. "I think more thoughtful use of PSA and other screening information is what's called for."
In a recent grand rounds lecture he described a risk adapted approach to screening for prostate cancer, where physicians help men to weigh the risks and benefits involved in screening so that they can make informed decisions:
- prostate cancer screening is offered to healthy men (with at least 10 years life expectancy); elderly men or those with serious illness are not screened
- physicians discuss the benefits and harms of screening including risk factor assessments (family history, race, nationality, age) to help the patient make informed decisions
- an initial screening test (age 45) can be used as a baseline to help establish an individual's level of risk for prostate cancer and help with future detections and treatment
- monitor low-risk cancer with active surveillance (PSA testing, digital rectal exams, and when appropriate biopsies) so cancer does not become more aggressive over time
Consider the risks and benefits, and decide what is right for you
You might feel comfortable with this approach to screening, but waiting to start treatment may reduce the chance to control cancer before it spreads. Regular checkups during active surveillance reduces this risk, but and for some men it's stressful to live with untreated prostate cancer. Prostate Cancer Screening: Should I Have a PSA Test? can help you get the facts, compare your options, and explore your feelings about the options so you can make an informed decision. Talk with your physician, know risks and benefits, and decide what is right for you.
The American Cancer Society lists the following risk factors for prostate cancer:
- Age: Prostate cancer is very rare in men younger than 40. Almost 2 out of every 3 prostate cancers are found in men over the age of 65.
- Race: Prostate cancer is more common in African-American men than in men of other races. African-American men are also more likely to have a more advanced disease when it is found and are more likely to die of the disease.
- Nationality: Prostate cancer is most common in North America, northwestern Europe, and a few other places. It is less common in Asia, Africa, Central and South America.
- Family history: Prostate cancer seems to run in some families. Men with close family members (father or brother) who have had prostate cancer are more likely to get it themselves, especially if their relatives were young when they got the disease. (The risk is higher for men who have a brother with the disease than for those with an affected father.)
- Genes: Scientists have found some inherited genes that seem to raise prostate cancer risk, but they probably account for only a small number of cases overall. Genetic testing for most of these genes is not yet available, and more study is needed in this area.

When interrogating people in LA Noire, the marker between truth and non-truth is pretty obvious. However, I can't tell how to distinguish between choosing Doubt and Lie. When does it make sense to choose one or the other?
Lie: I KNOW you are lying and here is how. Present evidence to go along with it.
Doubt: I THINK you are lying (based on how you are reacting or by instinct).
In addition to Krazer's answer, I've also found that doubt doesn't necessarily mean "You're lying", it can mean "You aren't telling the whole truth, you're holding something back". If someone makes a very non-commital statement, even though it might technically be true, you have to choose between gentle coaxing for more info (Truth) or more pointed questioning (Doubt).
Also keep in mind that each question has one and only one correct answer. So if someone is lying, and you have evidence of that lie, choosing doubt will be considered a wrong answer. If someone is lying and you choose lie but don't choose the correct evidence, it is considered a wrong answer. You don't get partial credit for knowing that they were lying but choosing the wrong answer for it.

Is there any way I can disable new follower notifications on the Google Reader page? The ones that appear on the top left hand for Google Reader shared items.
closed as off-topic by Al E., pnuts, Vidar S. Ramdal, Alex, jonsca♦ Nov 18 '14 at 4:58
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Here's what I found. Typing in the javascript
in the address bar on google reader, disables the entire social features menu. This disables me viewing people I follow as well. But atleast it's less irritating than seeing those new follower reminders in bright yellow.
I went through each page on the Google reader site, and still finding nothing, contacted Google for support (I actually made my companies adwords rep have someone get in contact with me regarding it).
The response: "There is currently no way do this."
Disappointing. I was really looking forward to doing this, (as were a lot of people I think).
You can turn off all the followers as mentioned here: http://www.gtricks.com/google-reader-tricks/turn-off-people-buzz-followers-greader/
By typing the following into the address bar:
You can also Disable "buzz" via your google account settings (or Gmail) which will have the same effect, however you will have to unfollow and delete all your google buzz posts in order to do so. `
I am pretty sure that there currently isn't a way without using GreaseMonkey. I looked through all the options (there aren't that many) and found nothing. If you want to suggest it, have a look at Product Ideas for Google Reader.

I'm a college student, and I'd really like to start playing an instrument. But I want to find something that is:
- Inexpensive
- Small / portable in a backpack
- Quiet enough to practice in my dorm room
I'd like to find something that is not too difficult to learn, but has some depth (i.e., not a tambourine).
I've been thinking harmonica, pan flute, ukelele...
Do you have any other suggestions?

I need to find the last time that the
apt-get update
command was run on my server. How can I determine this information?
At least in Ubuntu systems there is a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp containing:
So see if you have /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp and if you have it, you can use
command to get the the time of the last "apt-get update" invocation.
And if your system does not have that apt configuration file, you can always add it.
You could check the Access times on the files in /var/lib/apt/lists which is updated when you run apt-get update. If apt-get update was run with sudo you should have a line logged in /var/log/auth.log when it was done..
I suspect you can check the last modified times on files /var/cache/apt to figure out when the last updates were applied to the package lists.
I just tested this, and ran "sudo apt-get update" twice in a row, and the dates did not change from their current value, but I suspect this is because there were no new updates to apply, and that the caches are up to date.
Don't go from the lock files. Lock files aren't reliable, they tend to move around over time with new Linux releases, and many programs cleanup (remove) lock files when they're done with them.
The following command will get you what you're looking for.
This is two commands in one. The results of the first command filter into the second through the pipe (|) symbol.
In the first command, I'm using "ls" to list the file contents of the /var/log/apt directory, which is the directory that stores the access history logs for apt-get. The "-lt" part is actually two switches. The first "l" switch tells "ls" to list one file per line with detail. The second "t" switch tells "ls" to sort by date and time. "--time-style" forces the date time to display in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM".
In the "grep" portion of the command, the "-o" switch tells grep to only show the portions of each line that match the regular expression exactly. The regular expression I've used here detects date times that are in the format specified in the "ls" command. You'll also notice the true little piece of magic on the very end of the "grep" command that there's a "-m" switch with the number "1" immediately following. This tells "grep" to stop looking for matches after it finds the first one.
So, in summary, we're listing the apt log file details so we can see the last modified date, we then sort by date and tell grep to pull the first date off the top, which it then returns. That's the last date that apt-get ran.
To play devil's advocate for a moment, however, it's common for Debian platforms like Ubuntu to schedule apt-get as a job that runs regularly. If you're looking for the person at the other end of the apt-get execution, you may actually find a machine. You could always match up access logs with the apt logs to see if any time stamps coincide. It's also possible to look at a user's command history to an extent.
Hope this helps!
/var/log/dpkg.log will keep a history of what was done, but not necessarily which app called dpkg (synaptic, apt-get, etc).
Synaptic logs a history file (>File > History) , aptitude logs both history in /var/log/aptitude and auto-installed packages in /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates, so you could check these for latest activity.
wrap apt-get in a script that first writes a timestamp to a file, and then does the usual work. that way, you can define the timestamp format and location ;)
I use
Sample Output:
I extracted these functions from my personal github: https://github.com/gdbtek/ubuntu-cookbooks/blob/master/libraries/util.bash
Here's a simple one-liner to run an update if it hasn't been run in the last day.
It looks for the update-success-stamp file, that is modified more than one day ago. If it finds the file of the right age, then it runs the update. Note: the update-success-stamp file has to exist for this to work.

Jeroen van den Broek
I've been a programmer for as long as I can remember. As a kid I started out with a dialect of LOGO, quickly graduating to a variant of Pascal, both of which I mainly used to make games. Later I taught myself HTML, thinking I was now a certified web developer, as way too many people did at the time (it was about the year 2000). Once I grew up and went to college I learned to properly use languages and environments like Turbo Pascal, Delphi, ASP, PHP, SQL, HTML/CSS/JS, C and C++ and I even taught some Java, even though I never learned it before I did. I guess my college had a rather desperate lack of teachers.
School never was my thing, however. My grades were good, but I could never bring myself to completing the menial task of proving that after I had already derived Circle and Square classes off of a Shape class I could really do it again for a Triangle. I ended up with a job where I wrote embedded software for hardware that the company I worked for developed in-house. While a good learning experience, it turned out that this was not my thing and after about a year I was looking for another job. I rolled into the web development business. After 2 relatively short employments I ended up with my current employer where at the time of writing I've happily worked for almost five years and will hopefully continue to work for many more.
I've been responsible for a lot of websites, mainly built on LAMP environments. I also maintain the Android app connected to one of those projects and am slowly rolling into iOS development.
In the mean time, I've been teaching myself C# and XNA4 (even though it's end of life) so I can start creating games again in my spare time. I've also taken on a Python project because I was tired of using defective software.

Richard Cragun - 1944-2012
Posted 06 August 2012 - 11:14 AM
Here is a Brazilian obituary: http://www.jb.com.br...richard-cragun/
I was fortunate to see Richard Cragun dance a couple of times. It was his performace with Marcia Haydee in Onegin (guesting with ENB) on 26th May 1984 that converted me to watching ballet.
Condolences to his family and friends at this very sad time.
Posted 06 August 2012 - 12:41 PM
Posted 06 August 2012 - 03:46 PM
Exactly my reaction to this news, Mme. Hermine. Like JMcN, I recall the excitement of his partnership with Haydee and his virile, go-for-broke dancing Cranko's ballets (Romeo and Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, Onegin, too), especially during Stuttgart Ballets regular visits to NYC..
My goodness.
The photo below is from a German-language website (Aug. 6, 2012), announcing his death.
Yes indeed.
RIP for this marvelous man.

Cragun was a crucial member of the group of artists that stamped the Stuttgart ballet indelibly on the imagination of the ballet world and a very exciting, virile dancer, whose partnership with Marcia Haydee was one of ballet's genuinely great partnerships. Their charisma (and, in my judgment, their charisma alone) made a lightweight work like Taming of the Shrew altogether worth watching.
Some of my youthful enthusiasm for the Stuttgart faded--and pretty quickly after the first time I saw them--but my enthusiasm and admiration for Cragun (as well as some of the company's other dancers--most especially Haydee) never did.
Anything else? Oh yes: Washington fans may remember two remarkable performances Cragun did with Gelsey Kirkland in the Baryshnikov Nutcracker. (At least I think it was two--there may have been more, but I remember attending two of them.) He set her free to be her utmost self...and it was fabulous to see. Hope on this occasion I can bend the no-gossip rule a bit: at one of those Nutcrackers I was told by a backstage acquaintance of Kirkland that at some point in rehearsal Cragun turned to her and said "I get it...you need space..." Whatever it was that happened at rehearsal, those were magical performances...

Mme. Hermine, I would have loved to see the rehearsals for THAT scene. I adore their physical comedy -- the quick switches of tempo and mood ... not to mention the pratfalls ("splat !!!"). This is actually funny (unlike some performances of the play I've seen) and interesting to analyze in terms of timing and movement.

It has been reported that Richard Cragun has passed away at the age of 66 in Rio.
Here is a Brazilian obituary: http://www.jb.com.br...richard-cragun/

I am saddened to hear of this news as Mr. Cragun has left us at a comparatively young age.
I saw Mr. Cragun dance on a good number of occasions and like others, I think of the marvellous performances that this handsome man and his manly performances made him outstanding in his performing era.
With Marcia Haydee they were among the brightest stars of their time.
Judith Cruickshank has written a most fond obituary of Mr Cragun.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 08:28 PM
PS. Thanks for sharing the above links.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 10:18 PM
A nice reminiscence by Toba Singer in the California Literary Review.
.....He gazed up at me with a new-found respect, and we plowed through Cranko—his habits, predilections, charms, precocious choreographic genius, and the sorrier parts, such as his untimely death, and the result that he bequeathed Cragun almost nothing of his repertoire, such that Ricky, in poor health, was living in straitened circumstances in Rio. He was thankful to be the titular artistic director of his ex-lover's ballet studio, and for the occasional opportunity to coach Cranko works at Ballet de Santiago
Posted 13 August 2012 - 03:35 PM
At the bottom, it's mentioned that Singer's interviews with both Cragun and Haydee will appear in the last two two quarterly issues of Dance International (for 2012). (DI is a Vancouver-based magazine with print and on-line editions.)

I'm getting more and more convinced that, on all SE sites, you can ask almost anything.
With 'anything' I mean also subject or topics that might be off-topic.
The real challenge is to give the question an appropriate format so that they have single, answerable answers and that it's within the field covered by the site.
I give the shopping question as an example: I finally understood that these kind of questions are not allowed anywere on SE ( Where to ask about Myspace clones (it seems to be dead)? ), but the same questions, if seen from another point of view (e.g. "does myspace still contain enough active users to make it worth the time to manage and update my page regularly") can achive similar results if the question remains opened.
Do you agree? Is that true?

5 Innovative Ways the Gaming Industry is Screwing You
#2. EA Sports Creates A Mini-Monopoly
Electronic Arts has dominated the video game pro football market since the early '90s. But then, in 2004, rival NFL 2K5 beat Madden 2005 out in nearly every department, including price (you see, sports games are always one year higher than the actual year in which they are released--this tricks customers into believing that they can look into the future!)
EA Sports learned the hard way that, when someone else sells the exact same product as you, except cheaper, and with an air-hockey minigame and cheerleaders with actual boob-bouncing, it's going to cut into your profit a little bit.
So how could EA overcome their competitor? By working extra hard to make sure their game was superior? By cutting the price?
Don't be ridiculous! They just signed a deal with the NFL that would forbid anyone else from making those games. If competitors wanted to make a football game, it would be without any of your favorite pro teams or players.So what's the problem?
It's the same as any monopoly: EA no longer had anyone to compete with and, thus, got lazy. Slowly, the Madden games started adding less and less each year, to the point that features were gutted from the first round of Madden games for the new generation of systems. At times the series appears to be going backward, and we project that by 2011, we'll be playing something that looks like Tecmo Bowl.
Real-life Equivalent:
If McDonald's got an exclusive patent on the hamburger, and the only way better restaurants could sell them would be if they left off the top bun.
#1. Gamespot Offers Good Reviews To Companies That Pay Them
Gamespot.com is one of the most popular gaming sites on the web, offering a large database of information on pretty much every game ever made. Gamespot's reviews, in spite of the whining of some fans, have been consistently tough on even big games.
On November 13th of 2007, Jeff Gerstmann of Gamespot released this review for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. The review received a score of 6.0, or "fair" from the reviewer. Unfortunately for Jeff, the publishers of the game had recently purchased a great deal of advertising on Gamespot, creating the awkward situation where ads were splashed all around the review--the review of the game that the writer specifically told readers not to buy.
Gerstmann was immediately fired.So what's the problem?
Of particular note is the fact that, in spite of being fired, the review score for the game is still quite a bit higher than the average user review scores on Gamespot. In other words: Gerstmann gave a very generous review for a terrible game, but was nonetheless fired for not lying his ass off.
The message from Gamespot's management (they're owned by Cnet) was clear: a good review is part of what the advertiser pays for. Gerstmann's firing was meant to send this message loud and clear to every reviewer on the site.
Protests were non-violent
In the aftermath of the whole ordeal, several other long-time employees at Gamespot quit their jobs (Gerstmann and others went off to form their own site). Meanwhile gamers, who are used to reading these reviews before making their $60 purchase, had to rethink whether or not they can trust reviews from Gamespot, or any review site for that matter.
Real-life Equivalent:
If you found out Roger Ebert had spent his career offering positive reviews to any director who supplied him with heroin.

I had no idea that cursing was not automatically filtered/flagged/censored on the site, until I had a user flip out on me for downvoting his answer.
Since the site has a strict no cursing policy, how come one of these clean-up methods is not applied?
The words the user used in his comments were clear curse words, and there do not appear to be any other meanings they could carry. Shouldn't the system automatically take care of such situations?
Perhaps a user can receive a warning before posting: "hey are you sure you want to post this?" with a link to the rule. Then the question could either get auto flagged or put into review. Granted, I do think that most visitors would reword their post if they received such warning.
After a few answers I see the issues with making an auto filter. I never meant prohibiting such posts entirely, simply giving a user a form of "heads up." If someone is angry, they might not be thinking clearly, thus leading themselves into trouble.
Also, those who are angry will most likely not be the same people who are trying to find creative ways to outsmart the filter.
Similarly to how automated phone systems now attempt to predict the emotional state of the caller, based on the way they respond to the automated system.
Intent is not to block, but to make think twice before hitting submit.
Overcoming the filter will not do any good, as the user can post regardless, just like they can right now. The post will not be auto censored. As others have said, the community can take care of flagging if it is needed.

Nice that they are doing that for cancer, but i heard that there has been a cure for cancer since 1958.I myself wouldnt give the cancer donations a dime after i read the following Heres just ONE of the TONS of complaints about cancer donations,found at,' cancer donations rip offs;..The Breast Cancer Society run by James Reynolds Jr. responded to our report online. The headline read, "What is the truth about Breast Cancer Society that you won't hear on CNN's Anderson Cooper show. they claim 75 percent, not 2 percent of their own donations go to charity. But it's not true. The Breast Cancer Society took in $13 million in 2011 and according to its own tax filings, just 2.4% of that money went towards cancer patients. GEE,where did the rest of the money go too?In someones pocket? Again,this is just MY opinion,you do what you feel is best.

"An image resizing utility called timthumb.php is widely used by many WordPress themes....The utility only does a partial match on hostnames allowing hackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code in your timthumb cache directory... Also recursively grep your WordPress directory and subdirs for the base64_decode function and look out for long encoded strings to check if you've been compromised."
"NOTE: timthumb.php is inherently insecure because it relies on being able to write files into a directory that is accessible by people visiting your website. " Source
Comments say that by upgrading to version 2, it becomes harder to exploit the code. Code
It seems the only directory that requires 777 permission is cache, apart that all the folders/files should be default value.
I have added the script to my code-igniter site for image resizing. Should I feel safe using the script at the moment, or should I look for a alternative?
