With the enactment last spring of the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule, contractors are facing a number of new requirements, one of which is to use a HEPA vacuum for cleanup whenever lead-based paint is disturbed. The rule also says that HEPA vacs need to be used with tools that sand or grind lead paint. Contractors should assume that any home built before 1978 contains lead paint unless testing shows it does not.
If you work on older buildings, you may be shopping for your first HEPA vacuum. I bought my first one in 2005, because as a remodeler I was unhappy with the amount of fine dust getting through the filters of my standard wet/dry models. Switching to a better grade of vacuum solved my problem with dust – and now the EPA hopes these vacuums will help solve the more serious problem of lead poisoning.
The RRP has been hotly debated in the building community, and it's not my intention to revive those arguments. The purpose of this article is to help contractors choose the HEPA vacuum that best suits their needs and provides good service over a period of years.
The first thing you'll notice when shopping for HEPA vacs is how much more they cost than the wet/dry models found at most big-box stores. You may be tempted to outfit one of those less-expensive models with an aftermarket HEPA filter – but the machine won't be EPA-compliant if it wasn't designed to be used with a HEPA filter.
EPA standard. According to the EPA, a HEPA vacuum is one "designed with HEPA as the last filtration stage," where "all the air drawn into the machine is expelled through the filter with none of the air leaking past it." The definition is a little awkward, but the point is that general-purpose vacuums are not well-sealed and retrofit filters may not fit properly in them, which could allow lead dust to escape through gaps in the housing or come blasting out in the exhaust air.
The EPA has adopted the industry standard for HEPA filters, defining them as ones designed to stop 99.97 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. Some industrial vacuums can be equipped with ultra-low-particulate air (ULPA) filters. A ULPA filter traps a greater amount (99.999 percent) of even smaller particles than a HEPA filter does and is used in settings like cleanrooms and pharmaceutical labs.
Filter location. In vacuums designed for lead work, the filter is typically placed between the collection bag and the impeller that pulls air through the machine. This negative-pressure location reduces the likelihood of leaks because the filter is pulled tightly against the gaskets. Locating the filter on the other side of the impeller (as is often the case in household vacuums) increases the chance of leaks because this arrangement puts the gaskets and housing under positive pressure.
Which models comply? The EPA does not provide a list of approved vacuums or refer to any testing standards, so it's impossible to certify any particular machine as "RRP-compliant." Fortunately, though, there is some precedent for what kinds of vacuums are likely to be acceptable. The RRP is derived from OSHA standards that nuclear-, lead-, and asbestos-abatement contractors have followed for years. Any vacuum good enough for abatement work is good enough for the RRP. The table in the specifications section on the next page (and on magazine page 34) contains a number of vacuums that appear to meet EPA requirements. Some of the brands (Mastercraft, Minuteman, Nikro, Nilfisk, and Pullman-Holt) may be unfamiliar to general contractors, but they are well-known within the abatement industry.

5 Reasons Anyone Could Defeat the CIA in the Bourne Trilogy
You can inject new life into virtually any film or franchise by watching it again, only this time rooting for the bad guys. Really think through the scenario from their angle, and try to break down how they go about taking on the hero. More often than not, you'll find yourself scratching your head, or outright screaming at the screen.
For instance, take Matt Damon's Bourne trilogy. There's no doubt Jason Bourne is a badass, but the sloppy and frankly baffling strategy the evil government agents employ makes us think that any of us would have had a better than even chance of getting away.
Let's take it step by step:
#5. Why Not Just Let Jason Bourne Go?
So, these films are about a brainwashed assassin (Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon) who breaks free from his programming. The secret CIA team who created him of course then has to kill him...
"Who sent you?"
"Your boss! He really misses you! Like, a lot!"
Wait, do they?
Once free, what Bourne wants most of all, is to be left alone. He tells them this again and again. Yet time and time again the CIA and the secret assassin program insist on dragging this one-man death machine back into their lives. Why? What good ever comes from it?
You could say that the issue was secrecy, but Bourne could have exposed everything at any given moment just by going to the press, and he didn't. We know why, too -- Bourne has dirty laundry of his own (remember he was an assassin, and had killed multiple dudes in shady assassination operations). Can you imagine the relief when they found out that he just wants to go away somewhere and bang his hot German girlfriend without a care in the world? Let him!
Just let the man retire with Lola. What's the big hoo-hah?
But, no. They just can't let the guy go.
Let's look at the most inexplicable example. In the third film, it comes out that the main bad guy (Deputy Director of the CIA, Ward Abbott) is under investigation. It turns out that he had stolen money from the CIA in the past. He finds out that a trade is being made by the CIA for evidence that would incriminate him.
So, he hires some assassin to ambush the trade, kill everyone involved, and then plant Jason Bourne's fingerprints in order to frame him for it. He then sends the assassin after Bourne to kill him (SPOILER: This fails).
But also don't put all your chips on a near-sighted sniper
So the question is, of course, WHY BOURNE?
Abbott is a CIA bigwig who obviously has unlimited recourses and can surely pick any patsy he desires. Why choose the guy who through two films had completely wrecked every effort thrown his way? The guy who literally killed his way to Abbott's doorstep just to tell him that all he wants is to be left alone?
We can think of one reason, and one reason only:
So there'd be a third movie.
You're welcome, suckas.
But even if their motives made sense, their technique certainly doesn't.
#4. If At First You Don't Succeed: Try, Try, Try, Try, Try Again!
Their attempts to take out Bourne always happen like this: They figure out where Bourne is, they send a single assassin of presumably equal knowledge and strength after him, and then sit back and wait for some kind of confirmation that he has been taken out. Every single time Bourne ends up either brutally murdering the assassin or evading him in some way.
Or torturing them with office supplies
And damn, the people behind the secret assassin project (Operation Treadstone) really fall in love with that technique of sending their other CIA programmed assassins after Bourne, even though it fails again and again and again. Each time Bourne takes one out, the bad guys cry in frustration... and then send another lone assassin after him because THIS TIME it's gonna work, DAMNIT! They do this five freaking times through three films! FIVE TIMES!
We're no strategy experts, but it seems reasonable that after, say, the first two beatings it might be prudent to perhaps, we don't know, send more than one assassin after the little shit. Anything really would be better than what you are doing now, especially after you consider when Bourne gets the head of the secret project at gunpoint he is told, "You're a malfunctioning 30 million dollar weapon!"
"And Robin Williams was better than you in Good Will Hunting!"
Thirty million. From this it only makes sense that each of these assassins must have cost about as much as Bourne. See where we are going with this? Remember how many CIA super solders Bourne took out? Now multiply. 150 MILLION DOLLARS has been burned using this same technique of sending dudes one at a time. That's not counting the one guy Bourne took the liberty of killing on his own.
This equals three elementary schools
This is made all the more frustrating considering...
#3. Bourne Really Doesn't Seem All That Hard to Find
So, Bourne is a 30 million dollar weapon. This weapon has a brain and two legs, so surely that kind of hardware would come with one hell of a tracking system to keep him from getting away, right?
"GPS condoms? Brilliant!"
Presumably the extremely easy-to-locate gadget taken out of Bourne's hip at the beginning of the first film was a tracking device, but if so, not only was it the most poorly hidden tracking device ever, but it was also the most overlooked, considering that it never gets brought up by anyone ever again. A freaking $50,000 sedan has more tracking built in. Not only is Bourne worth 600 of them, but he can murder absolutely everyone if not controlled.
With that in mind, consider the third film, where Bourne uses an old CIA-issued fake passport to hightail it back to the US. We repeat, Bourne flies into the US and isn't stopped by anyone, and his old passport works and hasn't been flagged or anything even though he's considered world's most wanted criminal terrorist security threat-slash-superweapon.
And did we mention that Bourne doesn't even try to change his appearance once during all of these films? Not even a beard? Frankly by the time Bourne decides to break into CIA headquarters by walking directly through the front door, we're not even surprised anymore.
Any effort would have been nice
Though we guess they don't just have a blind spot for Bourne. In The Bourne Ultimatum, a reporter comes across a CIA leak who is willing to divulge everything about the secret assassin project and Bourne himself. In his excitement, this reporter calls a colleague and in the conversation mentions the code word "Blackbriar," which enables the CIA with their sneaky spy tech to not only pick out the word, but identify whose cell phone the word was spoken on almost instantaneously.
See, that is the kind of high-tech shit we expect to get deployed to find a dude who costs as much as a fighter jet and can kill his bosses if not found. Now we're talkin'!
But then Bourne meets up with the reporter and slips him a pre-paid cell phone so the CIA can't listen in on their conversation. Bourne then instructs him step-by-step on how to evade his followers. Pretty stupid move there, Jason! Didn't you just read the last two paragraphs? These people can pinpoint a cell phone from a single keyword! All they have to do is search for either the reporter's name or your name and they got your conversation in no time! Right?
Virgin Mobile - more powerful than the goddamned CIA
No, it turns out that the concept of prepaid cell phones completely baffles the CIA, sending them into a panic and yelling at each other about not being able to listen in. Hey, calm down guys! You just did this!
But, no, instead they manage to lose Bourne and shoot the reporter -- the only person who knows who the leak is -- right in the head. While doing this they also make sure to stick out like a sore thumb.
This is what the CIA thinks Tourists look like
This really brings up a bigger issue...

Consider the integral $$ \int x^2\sqrt{2 + x} \, dx$$
I need to find the value of this integral, yet all its (seemingly) possible substitutions don't allow me to cancel appropriate terms. Here are three substitutions and their outcomes, all of which cover both terms in the integrand, as well as the composed function inside the root.
$\boxed{\text{Let }u = (2 + x)}$ $$u = 2 + x$$ $$du = 1 \space dx$$ $$dx = du$$ $$\int x^2 \sqrt{u} \space du$$
$\boxed{\text{Let } u = \sqrt{2+x}}$ $$ u = \sqrt{2 + x}$$ \begin{align*} du &= \frac{1}{2}(2 + x)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \space dx \\ &= \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2 + x}} \space dx \end{align*} $$ dx = 2\sqrt{2 + x} \space du$$ $$ 2\int ux^2\sqrt{2 + x} \space du $$
$\boxed{\text{Let }u = x^2}$ $$ u = x^2$$ $$ du = 2x \space dx$$ $$ dx = \frac{1}{2x} \space du$$ $$ \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{u\sqrt{2 + x}}{x} \space du$$
As you can see, none of these allow me to move forward into integrating with respect to $u$. What other substitutions can I use that would help me move on with this integral?

Fabio Crouchello - Taking England to South Africa 2010
First of all, sorry for the appalling title. :o
This is going to be more or less a mini-update of my progress with England. It was a game I started for a bit of fun and something different (a quick fix!) away from my current career save.
As I always tend to start my games at the bottom and work my way up, I don't normally get to manage a big team. So I have decided to manage England from the start. We'll see how this goes and if I get sacked or have to leave at some point, I'll just pick up a new international team to manage depending on who gets sacked after international tournaments. I've selected automatic reputation and started with England.
The top leagues of England, Italy and Spain are loaded with a large database and all current international players and all players at top clubs throughout the world retained.

I'm curios to know how long process substitution has been around. What shell first had it? When did it get added to other shells?
Process substitution was already in the very first release of ksh88 AFAIK. When it was designed/introduced exactly, we may have to ask David Korn, but it probably doesn't matter, since it probably never came out of Bell labs anyway.
99% of bash features come either from the Bourne shell, the Korn shell, csh, tcsh or zsh. It's always difficult to find out when and where things were introduced especially when considering that many features of ksh were never documented or documented long after they were introduced.
The bash hackers wiki has a list of bash features and when they were introduced: http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/bashchanges
This list does not include process substitution, so it took some further research. According to this article, which references the changelog, version 1.13.5 had working process substitution: http://www.quora.com/Which-version-of-bash-added-the-Process-Substitution-feature
The date on the changelog entry is Sun Feb 23 03:38:59 1992.
I thought process substitution was introduced in the Korn shell but as to which release (88 or 93) ... ?

Dum Vivamus, Vivamus!
(While We Live, We Live!)
|In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, it's more important than ever to simply get outside and enjoy life while you live it. (Tim Jones/EasternSlopes.com photo)
But one image I saw among the thousands that have flashed across news media in recent days really clicked for me and started me thinking about what's going to be important long term for everyone, whether they were touched directly or indirectly by the horror. It was a still photo, taken near sunrise the morning after the Marathon bombing, of a lone runner stretched out and flying along the Boston side of Charles River.
In the background were two or three rowing shells with multiple oars working in perfect unison to propel those supremely sleek craft along the water. It was a beautiful moment, just a few city blocks away from a crime scene that just hours before had looked more like a war zone.
I only saw that image for a second or two, but it's stuck with me. It's the one image I'm choosing to remember. Now, I'm neither a runner nor a rower, but I understood the impulse that drove those people to get outside and heal mind, body and spirit in the aftermath of terror and tragedy. The truth is, getting outdoors, getting some fresh air and sunlight, getting some exercise is more than just fun, it's an antidote to much of what the world throws at you, a way to improve your health and your sanity in good times and in very, very bad.
We're all grieving in our own way for the innocents killed or maimed by the Boston bombs, and the innocence we all lost to those blasts. Sometimes, simply getting up off the couch, away from the TV and getting moving can help that grieving process and turn it toward healing. There's a wonderful story on EasternSlopes.com (the URL is long, but just go to the search box and type in "grief") about exactly this. Though the grief was for a different reason, it's still grief, and the prescription is still the same.
With that in mind, I'd like to ask everyone: What do you have planned for outdoor adventures this weekend? If you are a winter addict there are still, I believe, eight ski areas open in New England. One more day of skiing anyone?
But, for most of us, Spring has arrived and with it has come literally infinite opportunities to shake off any malaise and refresh yourself. Simply going out for a walk or a run or a bike ride around home is going to help you enjoy your weekend more. So would paddling a canoe or kayak (just remember the water's still very cold and many lakes and ponds still have ice on them). A good hike or a climb up a popular mountain like Greylock, Monadnock or Kearsarge might be just right for getting your heart pumping and clearing your head. It really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you get moving and do something.
There's been too much bad news too close to home lately, and it would be easy (and, in some ways, natural, I suppose) to focus on recent atrocities and tragedies and tumble into a spiral of fear, anger, hate, depression, grief. . . . Or, you could use that same energy to make your life better, healthier, richer. It's a choice that we all have to make. Dum Vivamus, Vivamus! While we live, we live! Or, to put it another way, "Life isn't a spectator sport. Get out and enjoy!"
May I Suggest?
I know, I know, your hiking boots are hidden somewhere in the back of the closet, your bike tires are flat and the lawn needs raking. It's hard to get yourself out the door. May I suggest that the next few weeks would be an absolutely perfect time of year to go out and do a zipline or aerial challenge course? You don't need any special gear and tiptoeing and flying through the treetops is a wonderful change of scenery, a perfect combination of exercise and adrenaline rush. Highly recommended for getting you to enjoy a day outdoors.

First Successful Trout Reproduction Documented in the Lower Mountain Fork River (5/11/06)
For the first time ever
documented in Oklahoma, fisheries biologists have documented
natural reproduction of rainbow trout. The discovery was made in
the lower Mountain Fork River trout fishery below Broken Bow
"Clearly, this new information
sets the lower Mountain Fork River apart as one of the premier
tail water fisheries in the nation," said Barry Bolton, Chief of
fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Anglers reported observing
trout spawning activity in December and January. A few months
later, scattered reports began coming in of very small rainbow
trout being caught by anglers. In ODWC sampling efforts in four
different locations, biologists caught a total of 17 young
rainbow trout.
The Wildlife Department first
stocked the Lower Mountain Fork River with trout more than 17
years ago. Since that time the 12-mile designated trout stream
has seen many habitat improvements. Additionally, thanks to the
efforts of Oklahoma's congressional delegation, the U.S.
Congress passed the Water Resources Development Act in 1996 to
ensure that cool water from Broken Bow Lake is released
throughout the year to sustain the trout fishery.
These young trout are, in
part, a reflection of all the hard work done through a number of
cooperative habitat initiatives which could have never completed
without generous donations, both in financial support and sweat
equity, from several dedicated trout clubs in Oklahoma and
Rainbow trout have very
specific habitat requirements in order to spawn successfully and
biologists have completed several projects to make the river
more suitable for trout. For example, the Spillway Creek area of
the river was once mostly a swift and straight area, not the
most suitable for trout or trout anglers. Today, the area is one
of the most dynamic areas of the river. Wildlife Department
personnel and their cooperators used large boulders and logs to
improve the river channel creating a series of riffles, runs and
pools - all prime trout habitat. The habitat efforts also
trapped clean gravel in shallow areas of the river providing the
type of habitat needed by spawning rainbow trout.
Wildlife Department fisheries
biologists will monitor possible future trout reproduction and
track the survival of these young trout. In the meantime,
fisheries biologists will continue improving habitat in the area
through projects like the Evening Hole Restoration Project – the
most ambitious stream restoration project undertaken by the
Department. Following two years of research and development,
biologists have completed the huge task of renovating the area
known as the Evening Hole located on the Lower Mountain Fork
River. This project included the creation of a Lost Creek, a
"new" trout stream almost a half-mile long that will connect to
the main river channel and provide new angling opportunities.
Additionally, a restoration project has been completed on
Spillway Creek to further enhance trout habitat and fishing
opportunities in the Lower Mountain Fork river.

I've laptop with three USB3.0-ports.OS is Linux Mint 13 (yeah, it's Ubuntu-based). My modem Huawei E1552/E1800 could work in two modes:
1) as flash with drivers
2) modem
The device is operating as modem and seen in Network Manager if only it's attached before OS loading. If after, it's detected as flash. The all mine attempts and games with usb_modeswitch are in vain and wasn't came to good.
So I would like to ask if there are such modems' model (it's not important what the manufucturer is):
1) that has single operating mode (modem)
2) if it supports 2 modes, I'll be able to swich device into the mode without much hassle.

Bio and Links
I am a North Londoner of Irish Protestant and Anglo-Indian (or, to be more accurate, Hiberno-Caledonian-Anglo-Dutch-Huguenot-Indian) parentage. I was trained as a mathematician but, at the moment, am working only part-time. I have travelled a lot; not only around the British Isles, but also throughout: Europe; Africa; America (North only; I have yet to cross the Rio Grande, never mind the Panama Canal, although I did, once, venture across the Forty-Ninth Parallel for a month, and should like to go back to Canada again, sometime); Asia; and Australia. Unfortunately, most of those voyages were undertaken before the invention of the digital camera, so I can't show you too many of the graves I saw when I was abroad. When I am not travelling or working, or painting or acting, I am learning to play the piano and various woodwind instruments. I try to keep my body fit with cycling and swimming and karate, as well as by never drinking alcohol, or smoking, or eating flesh, or fowl, or fish, and I try to keep my mind fit with chess and crosswords and reading.
Please note; I am forever running around this world (as Jefferson Airplane once sang), and seldom check the computer when I am on my wanderings; but, if you write to me, I shall make sure that I answer on my return.

St John the Evangelist Hildenborough Church
Iain could please place this on the above site.
St John the Evangelist Hildenborough Church now has the full burial records available on Find a Grave up to the date of 2015. These records have been taken from the church burial lists and gravestones, gaining permission from Tim Saiet the local vicar and the Diocese of Rochester. The records which are available hold 4200 citizen of Hildenborough.
The intention is to make these records available at the public library in Hildenborough on opening days in Riding Lane, near to the church. The book has the plans of the plots of the church burial areas and information about interesting persons buried within the churchyard. Such as the Tibet Princess, Baroness and the first vicar of Hildenborough.
Regards Tim Asquith.
It has taken me 10 months to complete this little project.

Playing with SVG Rich Components in Netbeans Mobility 6.5
By Karol Harezlak on Oct 02, 2008
If you are interested in details of this technology you can find more information on netbeans wiki page:
If you want to try this feature on your NB 6.5 installation - create new Java ME project then create SVG image (File > New > Other > SVG Image) and don't forget to "Unlock" SVG Image every time you are starting editing image in the SVG Composer (Right click on SVG image then click "Unlock" action).
When SVG UI image is ready and saved, users can use it in the Visual Midlet applications. New custom component "SVG Form" in the Visual Mobile Designer acts as a container for SVG UI images (You can find it in "SVG Components" Palette section). Simplest way to add SVG UI image to the Visual Midlet is to drag and drop SVG UI image file on SVG Form component in the Flow view or Screen Designer (Screen view) of the Visual Mobile Designer. Jave source code and necessary components should be generated automatically right after SVG UI image is drooped on SVG Form component. Screenshot below shows Flow of the Jave ME application with SVG Components including SVG Form. You can download this application at the end of this entry.
It is also possible to look up SVG UI image preview in the Visual Midlet Screen Designer.
Finally two screen shots of SVG Rich Components application running on WTK 2.5.2 and Nokia S40.
Nokia S40
You can download sample application here:
but you need to use recent build of Netbeans Mobility 6.5 to run it. Recommended version of Netbeans is "Java" because it contains GlassFish which is necessary to run this example.

WEIRTON - Adjacent to the Brooke-Hancock Veterans Memorial Park, with a view of the Weirton rail yard sits the community's newest eatery.
Trackside Grill is located at 27 Marshalling Yard Drive, Weirton, in the building which once was home to Scott Lumber. It is owned by Dan and Lori Milantoni.
On Wednesday, the restaurant held a grand opening along with members of the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce and Follansbee Chamber of Commerce.
Article Video
With a name and decor reflective of the neighboring rail yard, the restaurant's menu consists primarily of burgers, sandwiches and wraps - with everything from a meatball hoagie to a fish sandwich or a reuben - as well as salads, homemade soups and six kinds of wings.
"It's not gourmet food, but it's good food," Dan said, noting everything is made fresh and cut to order.
Various side dishes also are available, including zucchini planks, jalapeno poppers, hand cut french fries and homemade onion rings.

GRAND OPENING — Trackside Grill, a new restaurant in Weirton, held a grand opening Wednesday along with members of both the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce and Follansbee Chamber of Commerce. The restaurant is at 27 Marshalling Yard Drive, adjacent to the Brooke-Hancock Veterans Memorial Park near the U.S. Route 22 downtown interchange. -- Craig Howell
Dan previously worked at Ball Corp. for 20 years, and for several of them also owned and operated a bar in the area. He left the bar about six years ago, but the desire for a restaurant remained with him.
"My wife and I had been talking about it for a couple years," he said.
Lori's battle with breast cancer gave them the inspiration to take those steps, so Dan retired from his regular job and they decided to pursue the restaurant business full-time.
Fact Box
Trackside Grill is at 27 Marshalling Yard Drive, Weirton, and open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. They can be contacted at (304) 914-4229.
"You chase your dream now, or you forget about it," Lori said, noting their desire to eventually offer catering and daily specials and events, such as a wing night or pasta night.
Their goal, she said, is to have a restaurant with good, fresh food and a comfortable atmosphere where people feel welcome.
"I was lucky enough to find this spot," he said. "I have an awesome landlord."
They also thank their daughters, Danielle and Amanda, and their staff, Chasity Adkins, Constance Yount and Katelyn Pownall, for all their work in helping to make their dream possible.
Lori explained they also work to keep all of their business as local as possible, using area contractors and electricians in the construction, and purchasing materials from local businesses.
Trackside Grill is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with food available to eat in or take out. For more information, call (304) 914-4229.

They getKey of the MixedCollection is just an injected function which returns this.internalId
So the key is how the internalId of the Record is set.
Look for this code in the reader:"
extractData : function(root) { var me = this, records = [], Model = me.model, length = root.length, clientIdProp = Model.prototype.clientIdProperty, fields = me.getFields(), fieldLength = fields.length, convertedValue, convertedValues, field, name, node, id, record, i, j, value; if (!root.length && Ext.isObject(root)) { root = [root]; length = 1; } for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { node = root[i]; id = me.getId(node); // Create a record with an empty data object. // Populate that data object by extracting and converting field values from raw data record = new Model(undefined, id, node, convertedValues = {});Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

The line in the extractData method of Ext.data.reader.Reader
id = me.getId(node);
is in fact returning the correct numbers, in my case (1,2,5) so the problem must be occurring higher up the tree, I will being going up the stack and try and locate it.
16 Jan 2012 1:28 PM #13
Ok I'v located the problem code, however I have no idea what it's purpose is.
I forgot to include the a portion of the data being returned.... sorry about that.
Inside of the Readers extractData method there is this code
if (node[clientIdProp]) { record.internalId = node[clientIdProp]; }
Removing that property from the json data being returned fixes the issue.
17 Jan 2012 9:08 AM #14
It seems like this property is used internally to track batch changes in the writer. However this seems like a fairly common field name, is there any chance you can rename it to something a little more obscure?

Ah, excellent!
Skirtle sent me here for a look... glad to see it's being picked up!
I hit the issue and reported it in the beta forum, but didn't get much traction...
For what it's worth, my base model sets the clientIdProperty to 'phantomId', since I believe that's what it's intended for?

What is it like to be dead? Is it peaceful? Or is it terrifying? What happens after you die? Do you lie in the ground and rot? Do you live again?
Up to this point, this book has been about things that we are sure about-our feelings, experiences, and attitudes about death and dying. This section is about something that we are not at all sure about-whether there is life after death. No one knows the answer to this question, but everyone has an opinion or belief about it. Some people think that ideas such as reincarnation or ghosts are silly, childish fantasies, but it is important to discuss these beliefs, because they are shared by so many of us.
People have many different ideas about what happens to us after we die. Some people believe that life moves along a simple line. You are born, you go through life, and you die. Then it's all over. Other people believe that life runs in a circular pattern. You are born, you go through life, you die, and then you are born again. They believe that this can happen over and over again. The process of dying and then being born again is called reincarnation.
Another belief is that after death we go to heaven or hell, depending on whether we have been good or bad. Still others believe that they will become a ghost or spirit that wanders the earth. There is really no way to be sure what does happen after death.
There have been some rare cases in which a person who came close to dying believed that he or she got a glimpse of what death was like. We read a book called Life After Life that describes this kind of experience: "A lady who was resuscitated after a heart attack remarked: 'I began to experience the most wonderful feelings. I couldn't feel a thing in the world except peace, comfort, ease-just quietness. I felt that all my troubles were gone, and I thought to myself, well, how quiet and peaceful, and I don't hurt at all.'" Stories like this one make death sound appealing, but they have to be taken with a grain of salt, because the people reporting them didn't actually die. In the absence of any real information, we can only wonder about different possibilities.
Question and answer taken from The Kids' Book about Death and Dying by and for kids, by Eric E. Rofes and the Unit at Fayerweather Street School, Little Brown and Company, 1985.

It shows the configuration of your keyboard, allowing to change between alphabets, for example from latin to cyrillic or korean.
It is used for players discussing in different languages and needing different keyboard configurations.
EDIT: So I tested a bit around.
I installed the russian and english keyboard layouts on my Windows system and checked that I could switch from my french layout "FR" to russian "RU" or english "EN" by pressing ALT+SHIFT.
I then launched Starcraft 2. I can confirm that the "A" means latin characters and RU means cyrillic characters. English and French layouts both show an 'A' because both use the latin alphabet.
This sign indicates selected language. For me there are 'En' and 'Ru' states of this icon.

Our #lovecapetown bloggers' experiences in retrospect
You've seen the tweets, the Instagram photos, the videos and the blog posts detailing the full #lovecapetown experience with three of our favourite travel bloggers. Now that our action-packed and colourful campaign has come to end, we'd like to take you through a visual journey of the many ways that Abigail King, Carol More and Rachelle Lucas got to #lovecapetown with our highlights post of signature Cape Town experiences, as told by them.
Let's briefly recap on the campaign details. During the month of September, to celebrate Tourism Month, we invited three of the industry's best international travel bloggers to our shores to experience Cape Town and all this city has to offer. And in their stay at the moving #lovecapetown house, they got to bond with some of our local bloggers who were able to give the international ladies some insight into our laid-back lifestyle and culture. This year, instead of hosting the bloggers at one house, we've decided to shake things up a bit and use a combination of beautiful homes in spectacular settings. Thanks to Nox Rentals, Abigail, Carol and Rachelle enjoyed views of the Sea Point promenade, the Waterfront Marina and an ocean view of Camps Bay. There's nothing more satisfying than coming home to your luxury seaside apartment after a long day of exploring. So here's what they got up to during their stay.
Abigail King of Inside The Travel Lab had quite a unique experience of Cape Town beaches, with white sand, blue water and.. snowy mountains.

So, the township I just visited is called Masiphumelele, which means "success." But to sound local, just say "Masi" #lovecapetown #capelab
Carol Moreh of Follow The Colours literally follows the colours where ever she goes - we're really excited that our city held something bright for her to see.
Here she is whale watching in Gansbaai.
One element of Cape Town that really inspired Carol was the colourful street art in Woodstock Exchange.

Rachelle Lucas runs The Travel Bite blog where she focuses on food from around the world amongst other travel stories. Here are her favourite experiences from Cape Town.
Rachelle's first look at a Cape Town gatsby. Her words were: "Finally saw a Gatsby. Oh. My. Word. How did it get named a Gatsby? #LoveCapeTown iPhone is there to show the ridonculous size. #Feeds10"
The best way to tour vineyards in Cape Town? Cycle through them. Good times with @BikeAndSaddle.

Quite possibly one of my favorite morning coffee shots of all time. Hello sunshine! #lovecapetown http://instagram.com/p/fHYs0YrGMf/
Rachelle Lucas @TravelBlggr
Really blown away by the food and chefs at @LaResidenceSA. Wow. Just, wow! #LoveCapeTown
We also took Rachelle Lucas to learn how to cook local Cape Malay fare in a kitchen in the colourful Bo-Kaap during her visit to Cape Town.
Another highlight for us during this campaign was our tweet-up, which not only involved our travel bloggers, but also you, our loyal fans as you gave us your view on Cape Town's hidden gems. Thank you all for making this campaign such a huge success for us, and remember to keep tagging your photos and videos with #lovecapetown to be featured on our wall.

6 Parodies That Succeeded Because Nobody Got the Joke
#3. A Best-Selling Romance Novel Was Intended to Trash Romance Novels
Jaded with vulgarity in literature, in June of 1966 Newsday reporter Mike McGrady sent a memo to a few of his writer friends that stated: "As one of Newsday's truly outstanding literary talents you are hereby officially invited to become the co-author of a best-selling novel. There will be an unremitting emphasis on sex. Also, true excellence in writing will be quickly blue-penciled into oblivion."
His aim: To create a parody of the poor writing that lined modern bookstore shelves, and hopefully point a mirror at the culture that would inspire it to reach a little higher. Twenty-four people responded, and they all collaborated on the most exploitative, obnoxious, sex-filled romance novel ever written: Naked Came the Stranger.
Via ISRL.Illinois.edu
Censored because '60s asses are weird-looking.
And, of course, by "collaborated" we mean they wrote each chapter on their own, having no idea what the others were doing. There was a basic synopsis that they all agreed on (a woman named Gillian Blake wants to get back at her cheating husband by boning a lot), but each writer got to make up the rest as he went along. So while one guy was talking about Gillian having wacky fun with crushed ice and an abortion doctor, another was writing a later chapter where she uses her hypnotic super-boobs to cure a gay man of his sinful lust for cock.
The book doesn't make a lot of sense, is our point.
Via Ebay
And neither does the world.
Still, its release saw some initial success, so McGrady hired (or coerced, it's not clear) his sister-in-law to do the talk show circuit as the book's fictitious author, Penelope Ashe. By all accounts she had a blast with the role, slutting it up, wearing low-cut shirts and spouting nonsensical pieces of writing advice like "A writer's got to impale his guts on the typewriter."
You know where this is going: The book eventually wound up on the New York Times bestseller list.
Via Ebay
We're actually surprised they didn't claim that the dog was Penelope.
Eventually, the authors outed themselves after they began feeling guilty about the piles of money they were making. It didn't matter -- it kept selling (publicity over the "hoax" actually helped). The book inspired an entire series of spinoffs and established the "collaborative novel" as a new genre. It would even be made into a 1975 X-rated movie. Nearly 50 years after its release, romance novels are in no danger of extinction; in fact, smutty romance novels are the most popular form of erotica for women.
#2. Frank Zappa Accidentally Invents the Valley Girl
Slang is one of the great mysteries of human history. It can be tracked and recorded, but no one ever really knows how it's going to spread or what exactly is going to catch on. No one can predict what nonsensical terms kids are going to be saying to each other in the future -- and once we know what they're saying, no one can really say why, or how it got started.
"It was horrible, I totally caught him kuxling the neighbor's dog."
Except in one case: valley girl slang. That is, the manner of speech in the '80s and most of the '90s when girls liked to say "Like, no way!" and "As if!" and "Grody to the max!" Apparently, that was substantially Frank Zappa's fault.
In 1982, Frank Zappa recorded a new song with his teenage daughter, Moon Unit, who improvised dialogue over the top of it while making fun of people at her school she didn't like. When the slang subsequently exploded across the country, Good Morning America hit an all-time high in investigative journalism and managed to trace the movement back to its source.
The interview is clearly an exercise in impatience. Moon is embarrassed and kind of awkward, and Frank himself absolutely couldn't care less about participating. All he has to say about the song specifically is that its success was an "accident" and that the slang itself is "cultural pollution."
"I was a journalist once. Now we turn to a teenager named Moon Unit, who's going to tell you why her classmates are stupid."
Still, the cultural impact was so huge that film producers approached Zappa to make a film based entirely on the slang terms, called Valley Girl. Zappa refused, because he was a legitimate artist thank you very much, no matter what he names his children. Of course, said producers went on to make that movie anyway.
The movie ended up being a huge success, making a ton of money, and holding a respectable 83 percent at Rotten Tomatoes. That's higher than Dances With Wolves, which beat Goodfellas for the Oscar, in case you're looking for something else to be pretentious and angry about.

Yep, that's Nicholas Cage with rainbow hair. You can punch something now.
#1. Critics Can't Identify Intentionally Bad Poetry and Art
Not everyone realizes that before the turn of the 20th century, most poetry and art was pretty much created with the intent of being, you know, understood. It wasn't until the advent of modernism that these things became more about the personal journey and identity of its creator.
Enter James McAuley and Harold Stewart, two poets in the Australian Army during World War II who decided to play a prank on the whole medium. They created a fictional poet named Ern Malley, who they decided had recently died at a tragically young age. They assembled 17 poems that they credited to the completely fake Malley, intentionally nonsensical bullshit created by pulling quotes from whatever they had, like a report on mosquito breeding grounds. They then mailed the work to a modernist poetry journal called Angry Penguins that they particularly detested.
Via Wikipedia
Not to be confused with We'll Print Literally Anything magazine.
The editor of Angry Penguins, a 22-year-old named Max Harris, was totally blown away. He published an entire issue devoted to Ern Malley -- even though the poems contained some less-than-subtle hints as to their true nature, like:
It is necessary to understand
That a poet may not exist, that his writing
Are the incomplete circle and straight drop
Of a question mark.
Seriously, Max, how could they have made it any clearer?
Then everything went to hell. The hoax was quickly exposed, and the already hurting Angry Penguins was driven out of business by the bad publicity. For a while, it looked like the hoaxers had dealt a terrible blow to an artistic movement.
Well, no, not really. Angry Penguins did fold, but for mostly unrelated reasons, and Max Harris never actually recanted his opinion that, regardless of what McAuley and Stewart had tried to do, they had accidentally written some badass poetry. Today, "Ern Malley" poetry remains substantially respected. And in a twist of fate that must particularly sting, none of the "real" poems the hoaxers went on to write have ever exceeded their hoaxes in popularity.
Via Nembutsu.info and PoetryLibrary.edu
Harold and James, respectively, shortly after dick-slapping poetry in its face.
If the world of pretentious poetry was ripe for satire, though, then pretentious art was overripe. In 1924, a struggling novelist named Paul Jordan Smith, like the poets we were just talking about, was getting a little sick of the bullshit in contemporary art. He was convinced that "the modern critic in literature and art was a coward, so afraid of being out of step with his generation that he hesitated at giving honest opinion concerning art values."
To prove his point, he decided to play a prank. He created a series of paintings, called "The Seven Deadly Sins," with old brushes that he had borrowed and canvas he pulled out of the trash. Concocting an alter ego named "Pavel Jerdanowitch" and giving him a crazy back story filled with international travel and disease, he unleashed the paintings on the art world. But, again, because stupidity is just too damn hard to fake, Smith's paintings were widely heralded and sold for substantial amounts (for the 1920s). Even today, the dumb things are remembered as brilliant pieces of modern painting. Enjoy:

Ryman selected and installed the works in the exhibition which focuses on thirteen new paintings completed in the past year for this project and an equal number of paintings from the 1980s. A small number of earlier works beginning with a painting from 1958 were chosen to supplement the recent paintings. Ryman also designed the exhibition space on the fourth floor of this building, controlling light from skylights, south windows, and north windows, and creating five galleries of proportions and sizes to complement his paintings. The paintings will be shown only with natural light during most exhibition hours. A catalogue documenting this project with Dia Art Foundation is available including installation photographs and extensive interviews with Ryman.
This is the first major exhibition of Ryman's work in New York since his retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1972. His work has been presented in numerous gallery exhibitions and has been the subject of retrospectives in Amsterdam, London, Zurich, Paris and Dusseldorf. He recently has had one person exhibitions at the Art Institue of Chicago and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and will be represented in the upcoming Carnegie International in Pittsburgh.
This project extends the commitment and program of Dia Art Foundation to support artists to undertake ambitious projects which would be difficult to realize through other institutions and organizations. The unusually long period of the exhibition-for an entire season from October 1988 through June 1989--has been planned to allow a large public from the metropolitan New York area, the United States, and other countries to have the opportunity to view the exhibition over time and through the possibility of repeated visits.

I have found only one example of this so far (Best Buy) and it is not very well executed. I'm wondering if there are any good examples of mobile sites that allow product comparisons, or if perhaps compare functionality is just not something that can be done well on mobile at all?
closed as primarily opinion-based by JonW♦ Feb 18 '15 at 10:51
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm not sure it's "the best way", but what immediately came to my mind was a horizontally scrolling list of the product attributes you are comparing. Apple does something similar in the App Store app, where you can scroll through the screen shots of an application. Imagine you're looking at product attributes instead of screen shots. I think it would work as long as the list of attributes you are comparing isn't terribly long. Then you might get into a double-scrolling situation (horizontal and vertical).
This is a tough UX challenge since product comparisons often require a lot of real estate. Obviously a conflict here on a mobile device.
Since no one really does it all that well, why not try something a little unexpected that plays to the strengths of mobile devices? One idea I have is play with orientation, which could effectively double your real estate. You could set it up so that in vertical mode, a series of thumbnails is shown. That would be the visual comparison. Vertical mode would also include a little instructional text for the first time user to encourage them to switch to horizontal mode and compare specs. Rotate the screen and you get the tech spec comparison with the ability to slide right to see more of the products.
Something like that could be neat.
The only responsive industry solution i've met is http://www.samsung.com/nl/consumer/tv-audio-video/televisions/ . With a few adjustments it might even work nicely on the smallest viewports. Just take into account not to use too many products for comparison.
Assuming the comparison includes a technical specification - Let the user add or remove or arrange (drag n drop) the the specs items that are more or less important. If the user wants to buy a a new monitor then the resolution might be an important factor. Let the user compare only that spec.
Assuming only one column in the design, make a list of common attributes first, then follow with a list of the varying attributes, one on top of the other but still within a list item.
I think that an horizontal scroll would be the best answer to this problem. And how Andy S said, something like the screenshot gallery inside an App detail in Apple App Store should work.

Growing pains are often described as an ache or throb in the legs — often in the front of the thighs, the calves or behind the knees. Growing pains tend to affect both legs and occur at night, and may even wake a child from sleep.
Although these pains are called growing pains, there's no evidence that growth hurts. Growing pains may be linked to a lowered pain threshold or, in some cases, to psychological issues.
There's no specific treatment for growing pains. You can make your child more comfortable by putting a warm heating pad on the sore muscles and massaging them.

I used the Ubuntu 11.10 iso and did a dd to create a LiveUSB. I also used gParted to assign the extra space to a second VFAT partition. Is there any way to mount the additional space while running from the LiveUSB image on the same device?
When I try I get an error that the device is busy? My steps were the same as those documented at this site: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/06/ubuntu-switched-to-hybrid-disc-images.html. I also noticed that when I insert this USB into a windows machine I'm unable to access the VFAT section of USB.

Poised, confident and even-keeled, Jeril Taylor has the rare duality of offensive creativity and a relentless commitment to defending.
In the classrooms and hallways of PRP, the six-foot-three senior guard is a popular student with an endearing smile and close, positive relationships with teachers and administrators. Last trimester he earned all A's and B's.
Thirty one year veteran coach Dale Mabrey has called him one of the best leaders in the history of the Panthers' storied program.
Only three years ago, however, the hands that Taylor now uses to dribble through defenders were cuffed behind his back as he was shuttled out of Atherton High School and into a police cruiser.
Then a 14-year-old freshman at the school, Taylor had been involved in an altercation with another student and was charged with, and later convicted of, assault and robbery. A sentence of nine weeks at the Louisville Metro Youth Detention Center followed.
It was rock bottom for the troubled kid who had been to four schools in seven years and earned a reputation as an aggressive reprobate.
He didn't know it at the time, but Taylor's life was about to enter a new chapter.
Between his release in May 2009 and his emergence this season as a focused and respectful student-athlete, a drastic change occurred in Taylor that is a testament to both the power of self-reinvention and the influence of a transformational school culture.
"I had to make a different me," said Taylor. "I had to change."
Growing up in Louisville's infamous Sheppard Square government housing complex, Taylor played countless hours of pickup in Lampton Park.
He learned the finer points of the game from his father, Charlie Taylor, a former PRP star who graduated in 1995 and went on to play a season for Denny Crum at the University of Louisville.
Tempestuous from an early age, Jeril Taylor spent grades four through seven in an alternative program at Waller-Williams Environmental School. He entered Atherton as a freshman with an "I-don't-care-attitude," often staying out past 3 a.m. and then sleeping through classes the next day.
Fighting was common on weekends and it didn't take much for Taylor to get agitated.
"It was either you say something I like or you don't say something at all," he explained. "(Getting upset) was like a habit."
Atherton coach Thomas Wilson remembered a talented player who struggled off the court.
"As soon as basketball season was over with, that's when things went the other way … He started to venture off," said Wilson.
After his arrest and incarceration, Taylor's family moved to southwestern Jefferson County to give him a fresh start as a sophomore at PRP.
"I came in thinking it was going to be a horrible year for me," Taylor said. "But, I got to know more people, got to know more teachers, more friends."
Among those he met was special education instructor Bernadette Kok.
"You could see frustration," Kok said. "He came into my room the first day and scooted that desk all the way back against the wall."
Kok, a former basketball standout at PRP and Eastern Kentucky University, slowly began equipping Taylor with tools and strategies to deal with his anger and frustration.
"When he walked in that room it just clicked and I said 'I'm going to help this child,'" Kok recalled.
It didn't happen immediately, but over time Kok became a trusted mentor and Taylor's outlook started to change.
His scowl softened into an occasional smile and grades began improving.
Others noticed the changes.
"When he first came here, he never smiled and had this hard look about him," said Larry Kihnley, an assistant athletic director and longtime assistant basketball coach, who has known Taylor since he was born. "It took over a year, but you could see it coming and it was like he just flipped."
Kok and Kihnley held Taylor accountable on a daily basis and provided him an outlet for his thoughts. "They told me, 'We care about you and we're trying to help you.' It just hit me that I've got people that are trying to help me succeed," Taylor said.
Principal David Johnson said Taylor's improvement has been dramatic.
"We've seen him grow academically, socially, emotionally and athletically," he said. "He's had a lot of supporting cast members push, push, push, and luckily he did because he's not only helped himself, but he's helped us too."
Basketball has been an important factor as well.
After sitting out his sophomore season due to transfer rules, Taylor averaged 11 points and five rebounds as a junior.
This season he notched 14 points and six rebounds a game while shooting 54 percent from the field.
The Panthers, ranked No. 6 in the state AP coaches' poll, entered district play this week with a record of 22-6 and were favored to win a loaded Sixth Region.
"When he first came to PRP, he was just lost," said Mabrey. "He didn't trust adults at all and he didn't believe anybody really cared about him. Every student is reachable and it just took a little while with Jeril."
"It was a joy to watch this whole process take place," Mabrey added.
Regardless of how the season pans out, Taylor wants to continue driving forward in life, secure in the knowledge that he now has a network of supporters to lean on.
"(I want) to be a successful man," said Taylor. "I'm still climbing … and it means a lot, coming where I come from, to have a family here and know that I've got help whenever I need it."
