In this question, Gilles answered
Yet another possibility is to run
tail -fin an Emacs shell buffer and use Emacs's syntax coloring abilities.
Because I'm a vim user, I'd like to do this with vim, not emacs.
Does vim have this feature?
You can write a multithread plugin to change the buffer(s) in real time in Python or any other script that Vim supports and has threads.
But this only works in terminal as far as I know. At least in X11, the GUI version will crash if the GUI is modified by another thread.
If you accept other programs, grc and ccze are able to colorize streams.

Turn up your speakers.
I stayed inside the railing while taking this one. Used an Sony NEX-5, Sigma 8mm, NN R1 and a monopod.
Turn up your speakers.
I stayed inside the railing while taking this one. Used an Sony NEX-5, Sigma 8mm, NN R1 and a monopod.
thx for sharing. great one. Did you find a way to protect the lens from the mist?
We listen. We try harder.
At the top of the falls, there was no mist. Lower down on the trail there was a perfect pano opportunity with a double rainbow, mist all around and sun rays poking through the trees. There was no way I was going to take my camera out since it felt like I was standing in the shower! At the upper falls, I was able to wipe the lens between shots and Photoshop out all water droplets on the lens.
thx for sharing. It demonstrates us that a very experienced panographer goes on trying to reach new borders of what is possible done by "the expert of the monopod". You do not stand still. Always trying to get the lightest equipment to be ready to shoot a pano having the equipment in the pocket for the special moment. Even on a bicycle. By trying new equipment as well as machining new set ups to fit the top of R1/R10. Plus many thx for your comments on different forums about the Sony Experience to shoot panos.
I am convinced NN Forum as well as others learns a lot of your inputs. Thx a lot DennisS.
Oh gosh, stop it some more. Thanks Heinz for your very kind words.
Nice pano but let this news item be a warning to anyone thinking of stepping over the rail to get the "perfect" shot.... : http://photo.net/off-topic-forum/00Z4N7
(quoted from an earlier entry in another forum)
When we were at Nevada Falls (higher up the trail), we were amazed at how many people were getting so very close to the water. There are no guard rails at Nevada Falls. Idiots like those three are going to spoil it for the rest of us.
Funny (sort of) that I took a pano right next to the warning sign.
Here is my first video shot with the NEX-5/Sigma 8mm lens. The file is 48 meg, so it might take a while to download. It was scary just holding the camera over the edge of the railing.
In the late summer when the water is just a trickle, people swim in the Emerald Pool just above the falls.
All the wood floating in the water is right in the middle of a whirl pool caused by the rushing water. This pool feeds the waterfall in the previous panorama. Very dangerous. One slip and *** see ya later *** In the late summer, this pool is very calm, clear and deep. Families swim there. Idiots.
I feel sorry for the people who saw the tragic event. When will the idiots of this world learn?
Hello Dennis,
I didn't see your pano yet as it is flash only (I am most times using my iPad for internet) but reading the comments gives me a good clue what it is going about.
Standing on a dangerous place to get the best shots is tempting, and if you start doing it and all goes well you repeat the same trick a next time.
Sometimes I do the same as all those idiots but I never forget to keep a safety zone of at least 40 cm from the edge, with my back turned to the edge and the pole aside me I can shoot the images without getting myself in the shot, then I move myself to the other side of the pole and continue shooting.
I do this with care and always keep in mind that an accident can be fatal and final....
Shooting a pano with a horizontal pole is an option to avoid any risk for myself but it makes it impossible to batch output my panos....
It is not a spectacular scene but I think it shows what I am talking about (flash+idevices)
Will check out your pano later.
Dennis I viewed your pano and it shows a beautiful scene, well done.
I would never ever step over the safety rail in this situation as this would be very dangerous, its not only about the risk of loosing grip of shoes on slippery rocks but also, and perhaps this is the main reason, because I know I would get disorientated a lot by the hard sound of the waterfall, under such conditions it is easy to make fatal mistakes.....

Sorry about that. I usually make sure all the links work before posting.
I would also never go over any railing. I simply took two shots instead of one- one with me on each side of the monopod in order to get coverage in all 360 degrees. I think one extra shot and the stitching issues are well worth the added safety of staying on the correct side of the railing.
Wow Dennis,
Beautiful, quite stunning!
Saved me the cost of the airfare! Actually it makes me want to visit even more!
How do you get your logo to stay still when rotating the panorama, or is that a trade secret?
Best regards, Hugh.
Thanks for the compliment Hugh.
I live about 6 hours south of Yosemite. My sister lives just 2 hours away and has never been! If I lived that close, I would be going back every month. It is so beautiful there.
The floating logo is a hot spot in Pano2VR.
First you create your logo in your favorite graphic editing software. Make sure to use a transparant background.
You define a hot spot in the skin editor, give the hot spot a name and tie in the image. Close the skin editor and go back to your panorama. Place the hot spot at the bottom of your panorama. Close Pano2VR. Open the .p2vr file with your preferred text editor. Look for the section
<tilt>-88.78364</tilt> <- your number will be slightly different
Change the <tilt>-88.78364</tilt> to read <tilt>-90</tilt>. Save and close the file. Re open Pano2VR and continue processing. This puts the logo at the very bottom of the panorama. If you do not make this edit and the hot spot is not at -90, the logo will move around in a circle as you pan around.

Many Thanks Dennis, I'll give that a go.
I think I would too.
We recently had a wonderful TV program about Yosemite through all the seasons and it is one of the many locations around the world I would like to visit.
I have seen lots of photos, but your panos along the trail has given me a real insight.
Best regards, Hugh.

I'm shopping for a 70-200 F/4 USM IS L, and took a few test shots with it.
Here's a full resolution jpeg, and a 100% crop with a focus point highlighted.
It was shot handheld with IS on at 70mm / F4 / 1/400 sec.
In-camera picture style was set to Sharpening (3).
The image is NOT sharp as far as I can tell.
I'm I being unrealistic in my expectation from the lens that gets the best reviews all over the place?

5 Insane Ways Words Can Control Your Mind
On some level we already know that language shapes the way we think. We're automatically more afraid to fight a guy named Jack Savage than somebody named Peewee Nipplepuss, even if we've never seen either of them before. It's totally illogical, but you probably run into an example of that every day, and don't notice it.
While we tend to think words are just sounds we make to express ideas, science is finding that language is more like a fun house mirror, warping what we see in mind-blowing ways. For instance ...
#5. Speaking English Makes Us More Likely to Blame People
Let's say your roommate Steve is jumping on your bed. Maybe you have a Tempur-Pedic mattress and he wants to see if he can make a glass of wine fall over, like in the commercials. The frame breaks and the bed collapses. Your other roommate yells from the hall, "What the hell happened?"
How will you answer? Will you say, "That dipshit Steve broke the bed?" That's true, but he wasn't trying to break it. Or would you just say, "The bed was broken?"
Keep in mind, Steve pulls this shit all the time.
The answer largely depends on what language you speak. And the language won't just determine how you phrase it, but who you actually blame for the accident. An English speaker is more likely to name Steve as the responsible party -- even if he wasn't jumping on the bed like a jackass but just sat on it. A speaker in Japan or Spain would be more likely to just say, "It broke."
Stanford scientists did experiments on this, by having speakers of various languages watch videos featuring, in various situations, people breaking eggs or popping balloons, sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident. The subjects didn't know why they were watching.
"Maybe it's a kid-friendly version of Jackass?"
Later, the scientists quizzed the subjects on the people in the videos. In videos where the guy intentionally broke the egg, all of the subjects, regardless of language, were equally good at remembering details of the guy. After all, he's the one who broke the egg. The video was about him, the egg breaker.
Will nothing stop his madness?
But when asked about the people who accidentally broke something, the Spanish and Japanese subjects -- the groups more likely to use "the bed broke" earlier -- couldn't remember them. Since it was an accident, the guy wasn't important. The egg broke.
But us English speakers? We could remember him just fine. To us, the distinction between intentional and accidental was much less important. Somebody had to be blamed.
You'd think that this has less to do with the language and more to do with the culture -- that maybe they're just less prone to throw around blame in Japan. So they did another experiment, this time with just the English speakers. They had them watch the infamous Janet Jackson boob flash during the Super Bowl a few years ago.
"Seriously? This pissed off millions of people?"
The group was then handed a report on the incident and told to come up with a punishment. Half of the group got a report with a very subtle difference in wording: at the end instead of reading "the costume ripped," it read Justin Timberlake "ripped the costume." The people who got the second report levied fines 50 percent higher than the others. Even though they had all watched the same video about the same incident. Just changing the phrasing to imply blame changed the way they thought about it.
Science is just beginning to grasp how this changes a culture, but you can have fun thinking about it. For instance, during this election season, think about how much of the debate centered around figuring out who is to blame for each problem. Whose fault is it that the health care system is screwed up? Washington? The insurance companies? The lawyers? We must know! It has to be somebody, dammit. It can't just be, you know, some kind of complex, chaotic system subject to a billion variables no one understands. To phrase something that way, even if it's an accident or a natural disaster, feels weird to us. The story needs a villain.
#4. It Makes You Worse At Following Driving Directions Than Aboriginal Tribesman
Say we want to come to your house, to crash on your sofa for a couple of months because, you know, Steve broke our bed. When you give us directions you'll say something like, "Turn left at the adult book store and go down two blocks ..." That's the way you think through the directions in your head, after all -- turn left here, turn right there.
U-turn at the hobo.
But let's say that somehow you never had the word "left" in your language. Well, you'd still have the idea of turning left, right? You'd just have a different term for it. It's not like you'd actually have a tougher time finding your house just because you lacked a certain word.
Actually ... yes you would.
Figuring this out required a unique set of test subjects, but researchers found them in a bunch of deaf kids in Nicaragua who invented their own sign language. This language, in its early stages, had no terms for "left" or "right." But the people who used the language were otherwise normal -- their other senses worked exactly the same as yours. You'd think that while they had a tougher time explaining where things were in a room, they'd be the same as you or me at finding things. They're not.
They took the sign language speakers, blindfolded them, spun them around and had them try to relocate an object they had just watched being hidden in the room. For you and most people you know, it's a super easy test -- the object is on the floor to the left of the window. For other sign language speakers, it's not much harder. But these guys sucked at it.
Lacking the terms for directions like, "to the left of the window" didn't just make it harder for them to tell you where the object was -- it made it harder for them to tell themselves where it was, when trying to remind themselves inside their head. Their ability to figure out where things were was dictated by their language. They'd eventually find it, but it was a much slower and more difficult process for them. They lacked the internal language to orient themselves properly.
What's the sign for, "can't-read-a-damn-map"?
It gets weirder. If we were to ask you to come pick us up so we could crash at your place, because our El Camino was in the shop, and we gave you the directions as, "turn north at the Citgo station, go six blocks, then turn west at the Hooters, then south down the alley ..." would you tell us to go fuck ourselves? Hell, without a compass some of you can't even point which way is north from your own living room, let alone in a strange city.
"What the fuck did that airport security guard mean by 'east'?"
But you could go kidnap an Aboriginal tribesman from Australia and he'd immediately know which way is which. He'd know at any given second which direction he's facing. He has to know, because in the Aboriginal Guugu Yimithirr they also don't have words that mean "left" or "right" or "in front of" or "behind." They give all directions in terms of north/south/east/west. Seriously. If you're trying to hang a flat-screen TV on their wall they won't say, "Move it two inches to the left." They'll say, "Move it two inches east."
Now you'd think that, in practical terms, this would be pretty freaking annoying. But it turns out sticking to the compass gives them an almost supernatural sense of direction, and it's because they have to -- their language doesn't work otherwise. Because they speak in terms of geocentric directions, they also think in those terms. They could probably get around most cities better than you, even if they've never been inside of a car.
#3. It Makes People Who Speak Russian See More Colors Than You
Everyone's perception of colors should be the same. We have the same retinal structure due to evolution and the same wavelengths of light shooting at us.
Illustrated here, probably.
Yet somewhere, right now, there is a young couple at Home Depot looking at little cards with paint colors on them. The woman holds up four cards to her husband and says, "Do you like the eggshell, ivory, cream or bone?" at which point he looks at the cards, all of which are white, and says, "You're messing with me, right?"
"And what's all this 'taupe' bullshit?"
She's not. Experiments have found that whether or not you can register a color depends on whether or not you have a name for it in your language. You can see the color, it just doesn't register in your mind.
One study compared some young children from England with kids from a tribe in Nambia. In the English language, young kids usually learn 11 basic colors (black, white, gray, red, green, blue, yellow, pink, orange, purple and brown) but in Himba it's only five. For instance, they lump red, orange and pink together and call it "serandu."
We don't know what they call that hairstyle, but we call it "awesome."
If you showed the Himba toddler a pink card and then later showed him a red one and ask if they're the same card, the kid would often mistakenly say yes -- because they're both "serandu." Same as if you showed you "Eggshell" and an hour later showed you "Bone" and asked if it was the same card from before. Now, again, they can see the colors; if you hold up a pink card and a red card next to each other, the English kid and Himba kid both would say they're different. But not when they see them one at a time.
But if you teach him the new names for the colors, that one is "pink" and the other is "red," from then on he can identify them when seen by themselves, without the other one for comparison. Same as the girl or interior decorator who can immediately identify "eggshell" as distinct from "ivory" the moment she sees it on a wall, while her boyfriend couldn't do it with a gun to his head. The ability to recognize the color comes with having a name for it.
Also, with giving a shit.
Likewise, Turkish and Russian both split what we call "blue" into two different colors, for the darker and lighter shades. Therefore they consistently do a better job than English speakers when given the same "is this blue card the same as the last blue card" test. Even weirder, when testing the Russians they found that by giving them a verbal distraction (making them try to memorize a string of numbers while doing the color test) the advantage disappeared. It was the language part of their brain that was helping them "see" the color.

Intuit: U.S. Small-Business Employment Up in January
U.S. small business employment increased 0.11% in January, while overall revenue dropped 0.4% in December, according to new data from Intuit Inc.
The January employment increase represents 20,000 new jobs added and an annualized growth rate of 1.3%.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, average monthly compensation fell by 0.2% in January, or $6, compared with the increase of $13 seen in December.
Average monthly hours worked decreased by 0.9%, or almost one hour, compared with the increase of five minutes seen last month. The index is based on data from Intuit Online Payroll and QuickBooks Online Payroll, covering the period from Dec. 24 through Jan. 23.
"Given the continuing high levels of unemployment, we can expect little to no impact on small business wages and employment levels from the return of the employee payroll tax to its previous level," said Susan Woodward, the economist who worked with Intuit to create the indexes. "Instead, we will be much more likely to see a decline in the consumption spending of employees, who will be taking home less money."
Small business hourly employees worked an average of 105.1 hours in January, down slightly from the revised figure of 106.1 hours in December, making for a 24.3-hour workweek.
Average monthly pay for small business employees dropped to $2,676 in January, down 0.2% from the December revised figure of $2,682 a month. The equivalent annual wages would be about $32,100 per year, which is part-time work for almost half of small business employees.
For December, Intuit noted construction was the sole industry to see a revenue increase at 0.3%. The real estate and retail industries saw the biggest dropoffs, at 0.8% each. This index is based on data from QuickBooks Online and covers the period from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31.
For the entire year, the construction industry was the only one with increased revenue, reporting a 3.1% rise, compared with a decline of 1.8% for small businesses overall. The retail and health-care sectors reported the biggest decreases over the past year with a 5% and 3.8% decline, respectively.

When an air elemental goes whirlwind and traps someone inside it, how do ranged attacks targeted at the trapped creature work? Can I target the creature? Does it have total concealment, as the air elemental is all around it?

I do not know enough about 3.5, so my answer will only address Pathfinder.
The rules for the wirlwind ability do not seem to address this. However, as the GM, I would treat the whirlwind as being similar to that of the wind wall spell:
Emphasis mine.
I would rule – as per the table for the effects of wind on p. 95 of the Dungeon Master's Guide (d20SRD) – that ranged attacks would be impossible in that situation.
On d20 SRD's listing for Air Elementals, it says
The catch with attacking an Air Elemental is also using a weapon that can cut/smash/pierce air and actually hurt it.

Can aynone recommend some apps for me?
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy SIII and joined the year 2013. I am unsure of which apps to trust and which not to. I am looking for like battery saving apps or other apps that simply help use my phone better. I also enjoy customization.
11 Answers answer
Or widgets as well thank you
Advanced Task Killer. Run it every now and then to kill apps that are running in the background. I also use ZDbox to monitor my data usage to make sure I don't go over.
@eraten: If the Galaxy SIII is like my SII, it comes with a pre-installed task killer know as Application Monitor. It has a widget you can add to you home screen. It lets you kill apps and clear out RAM. Works great.
Edit: as far as trust-worthy apps, just pay attention to the developer and what access the app claims to need on you phone. Check these when updating apps too as permissions can change with added features.
To save battery, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when you don't need them. Also, reduce your screen brightness.
These are awesome. Thanks guys
This is a game app, but I feel like you deserve to know. Dummy Defense is $1.99 but it's the best GAME EVER!!!! I was looking for something similar to incredible machine when I came across it and now I'm super addicted.
Not sure how on topic this is either, but if you're even the slightest bit tech savy, you may want to look into rooting your Android. It's really awesome. You never have to wait for updates, Full admin rights (you can delete those awful apps that come loaded onto your phone that you aren't allowed to delete - it also allows you to go through system files and you would not believe how much more memory you have after all of that garbage is gone), you can increase the clock speed of the processor, etc.
It basically turns you into the actual OWNER of the entire phone instead of just a bunch of limited nonsense.
Some battery saving apps will do more harm than good. Unless you have one that is specifically made for the version of the OS on your phone, don't use it. And even then, make sure it works well with whatever other stuff Samsung puts on top of the OS (like MotoBlur for Motorola or HTSense for HTC etc.).
I have the Galaxy SIII... A few Tips for the "built-in" stuff:
Google Wallet
The NFC is cool and easy to use. Setup google wallet, and you can hold your phone up to many of those scanners and pay for your purchases (It asks for you to set and enter a pin every time, it doesn't ever "broadcast" your information in a way that people will steal it)
Look at the gestures you can enable, some of them are pretty nice. My sister loves the "put it to your head" to autodial, I love the "flip it over on its face to mute everything"
RedLaser barcode scanner
I use it all the time when I shop. From groceries to video games to televisions, this database knows what is on sale and where, and if I'm getting a deal.
Why stand in the cold to rent? Even if I drive to the kiosk first, I sit in my car and reserve them, then just run up and grab the disks instead of standing at the kiosk all day
Good music, lots of customization to get the types of music you want, very few ads
It's an app by InstaGrams that doesn't require any login or account, it just lets you make a quick photo collage - I use it all the time for texting and facebook, so I can just send one pic instead of wasting people's time with 5 pictures, I do a nice single picture that shows the event I'm sharing.
Remote Control Apps
I control my Roku, Samsung TV, Samsung BluRay, XBOX, Comcast (Xfinity), Pioneer Receiver all from their respective apps. It's great in a pinch to not search for all those remotes.
Temple Run 2 is really addicting.
Pandora radio for music.
Instagram if you take pictures and share it with others (if you're social).
Facebook (if you're social).
Yelp if you're looking for a good place to eat or play.
Some commerce apps like Amazon, eBay, Groupon, Living Social.
It's pretty cool to also have your bank or credit card apps like Bank of America or American Express. It actually helps me track all the transactions in real time.
YouTube is pretty neat.
And that's pretty much all I use aside from the phone, text, e-mail, camera and other pre-installed apps.
Edit: And I jumped the gun on this post.. didn't read beyond the title.
Netflix- Yeah movies on the go
Wootwatcher- need I explain?
Webroot- Free antivirus, also has a remote lock, track, scream (overrides volume control), and wipe (paid version) you create an account for free and set a password. IF you lose your phone text one of the 4 options plus your password and you phone will do the selected option.
Adobe Flash Player- yes if you Google it you can side load it. If you know what that means this might be right for you.
Ingress- Great game by Google
Foxfi- By passes the carries hotspot and lets you hotspot for free. There is a new paid version and a free version. This is completely legal because of Androids licenses and that it is a native feature of the phone/OS
IMDB- I use it alot
Shazam- if it was not preloaded
Skype- Again if it was not preloaded
MX Player- Lets you play almost every kind of video
Zedge- for ringtones and alerts
Google Music- upload your music collection to the cloud for free and listen from your phone devicce or Mac/PC
I agree that no apps are needed to increase battery life. Simply adjust your settings and get a car adapter.
FoxFi...YES. MUST HAVE.
Amazon Appstore...even if you do not download them now, get any free paid app available that you MIGHT need. Download at your convenience.
ColorNote....easy to make a quick note on a post-it
Google Drive and/or Dropbox....Easy cloud file transfer among devices and computers that you own
Wikitude....augmented reality with LOTS of features
Wootcheck....'nuff said
Overdrive Media....check out library eBooks for FREE
Audiobooks....many FREE Audiobooks
Smart Tools...compass,length, sound, level, etc.
Camscanner...I scan important docs like insurance, DL, CC etc in case I lose my wallet
any mini flashlight App
HD Widgets for clock/weather
Your bank's App (at least most have it)
Paypal and eBay if you use them at all
I could keep going...

HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS — Repaved roads north of Highway 40 are not the only major improvements taking place in the small town of Hot Sulphur Springs this fall.
Town officials anticipate a long-awaited pedestrian bridge spanning the Colorado River will improve residents' quality of life.
Installation of the bridge is scheduled to take place on Thursday, Sept. 26.
The new pedestrian bridge will connect Town Park on the south side of the Colorado River to Pioneer Park on the north side and has been on the town's to-do list for longer than a decade, according to Hot Sulphur Springs Trustee Dan Nolan.
The bridge is becoming a reality after the town secured an Enhancement Grant from the Federal Highways Administration through the Colorado Department of Transportation, totaling $232,000. The town is spending $58,000 out of their conservation trust fund to match the CDOT grant. Money from the Conservation Trust Fund is generated through Colorado Lottery revenues. The town also secured a grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) that will be used to provide trail and river enhancements in the area around the pedestrian bridge. The idea to build a pedestrian bridge spawned from a survey of the town's residents, which was completed by high school students from Middle Park High School's Grand Futures class in 2001, after the town acquired the Pioneer Park property.
The new bridge will provide better access to the two parks and will create a non-motorized trail loop for walkers, bikers, anglers, and disc-golfers. "After all of these years, we are pretty excited about the fact (the bridge) is under construction," Nolan said.
TopKnot Engineering, based in Hot Sulphur Springs, completed the design for the bridge. The bridge is being built and installed by M3 Property Services, of Fraser.
The installation of the bridge is expected to be "quite the spectacle," according to Hot Sulphur Springs Town Clerk Sandy White, and the town has set up an area near the water treatment facility for interested individuals to watch the installation process.
"I think this has been a long time coming and I am very excited about it," said Hot Sulphur Springs Mayor Hershal Deputy.
"Hershal has been a champion of the project right from the start," Nolan said.
The town had to go through an extensive process, not only to secure the grant money, but also to get the project fully permitted. The town had to design the bridge and planned enhancements so they did not impact protected areas, such as protected wetlands on both sides of the proposed location.
Along with the installation of the bridge, the town will be completing "ongoing improvements to both parks and continuing to enhance the connectivity of both," Deputy said.
"I hope it becomes an integral part of the town for the town's residents and visitors," he said.

Are there any alternatives to Mozenda available for free?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You can also try http://open.dapper.net. The site gives the following description
I use these:
You can also use Selenium to extract content from a site (although @el chief's use of Google Spreadsheets is quite clever too)
Alternatively if you just want to download a site, there are tools for that too.. e.g. HTTrack
My advice, never use Mozenda. It is cheap yes but system is not reliable. Data not captured as expected or showing up late (if showing up at all).
If the main argument was the price, then it is not worth it anymore since there is no quality either.
30 Digits' Web Extractor does a great job for sites that are more complicated and where you need to go in detail or be very comprehensive.
BTW, they are also listed on the easy bee with some convincing recommendations.
Content extraction and data scraping is not an exact science.
If accuracy is not of concern and you have basic technical knowledge (simple html/css knowledge) extraction tools like Mozenda and Needlebase, which Google recently acquired, are good. They work really well if you need quick content extraction from a small number of pages.
However, if accuracy and depth are of primary concern then probably you need lots of manual tweaking and regular expressions. Writing your scraping program would be best or you could check scraping services like Spider90 or Connotate
Lets not forget curl and wget, both of which can traverse a site and store it to disk. These are unix command line utilities and are available on most unix systems.
I have been playing with this kind of thing for a long time. Writing perl back in the day. If I had to roll my own for this I would probably use grep, but honestly now that I have found Mozenda I have found that for the time invested Mozenda ends up being less expensive. I can now structure a site's data in 10 minutes. I suggest using Mozenda as a proof of concept and when you have exactly what you want then code it out, but Mozenda is so fast that when the site changes its layout it again saves time to simply open up the Mozenda agent and visually make the edit rather then having to recode your project. I don't know I am hook line and sinker into Mozenda.
-- Jon -- The largest directory of cloud based software http://www.theeasybee.com
Try Automation Anywhere. Especially if you are looking for web data extraction or screen scraping data off webpages, you can have a look at it's web data extractionpage
Scrape.it offers a free version and also a full version trial. You can upgrade anytime you want and select features you only need. So if you only need to do image scraping, you can just buy that option.
Unlike Mozenda, which charges you per data extracted on a monthly basis, Scrape.it runs on any operating system as it is cross platform. You can run it on your desktop or server, and there's no ongoing cost. You can extract as much data as you need by using the proxy option.

5 Real Places Plucked Straight Out of Fairy Tales
#2. The Gargantuan Cave of Wonders (Majlis al Jinn)
The Fantasy Location:
The Cave of Wonders from Aladdin is a vast, magical cave hidden deep in the desert. It contains illusions of great riches and an unassuming old lamp that would probably look a lot more decent if you gave it a little rub.
Of course, what makes it something that exists in a Disney cartoon instead of real life is the sheer scale of the thing -- you can see the tiny Aladdin scaling the cave.
The Real Thing:
High Life
"Oh God, I suddenly have to poop."
Majlis al Jinn, translating to "The meeting place of the Jinn," is the ninth largest cave in the world. Like its fairy tale counterpart, it is accessible only through a tiny opening in the desert above. It is also commodious enough to accommodate a whole magical treasure, or an entire graveyard of jumbo jets. What we're saying is it's big.
Gatis Pavils, Wondermondo
Really, really, really big.
Wikipedia Commons
Seriously. That tiny speck in the middle is a man.
Although regrettably lacking in sentient giant cat heads, the entrance of Majlis al Jinn more than makes up for it by not having any sissy stairs or, for that matter, footholds. The only ways in or out are tiny holes on the roof, some 400 to 500 feet from the floor. You are only allowed to climb down via rope if you are an experienced spelunker or easily duped by shifty-looking Grand Viziers.
Wikipedia Commons
You're also required to have a minimum of two musical numbers memorized.
And while you're down there, the standard magical cave rules apply: Don't touch anything. The reason for this, however, is less fairy gold and more common sense: Due to the cave's spectacular drop, masses of dead animals have found their final resting place in the belly of this beast.
#1. The Disney Castle (Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria)
The Fantasy Location:
Quick: When we say "Disney," you picture ...
Wikipedia Commons
Also: Crazy old racists with pencil mustaches.
... a ridiculously stylized castle seemingly plucked out of a cartoon.
The Real Thing:
Holy crap, that's just about the fakest real picture we've ever seen. If you stepped out of the fog and saw that shit, you'd immediately hydrate to combat your hallucinations.
How does a place like that come about? Well, every once in a while, history is graced with eccentrics so wealthy and insane that they end up throwing the freakiest figments of their imagination at the planet until they or their bank accounts self-destruct. Neuschwanstein Castle, the retreat of Ludwig Il of Bavaria, is the product of one of those eccentrics.
The man rocked the white-tights-and-boots look like few after him.
Throughout his life, Ludwig was infatuated with beautiful things and wasn't afraid to show it with all the might of his kingdom's treasury. He had dabbled with the whole "Let's build ridiculously cute stuff" concept many times before, but Neuschwanstein Castle was to be his masterpiece.
Thermo Rocks
You know you've picked a great location when it looks exactly like a matte painting.
The enormous structure was deliberately built in the style of castle romanticism -- i.e., the architectural school of little girls in the middle of their worst princess phase -- to look like the ultimate fairy tale castle. And it should, otherwise the ad wizards at Walt Disney Co. are asleep at the switch. Neuschwanstein Castle was their inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle and its numerous rehashes around the Disneyverse.
But built for the impressiveness factor as they might be, Disney castles can't hold a candle to the original. This is because of the oldest saying in the real estate business: Location, location, location. Sleeping Beauty's castle is located in a crowded amusement park, with sugar overdosed-kids in Mickey-ear hats vomiting in its pissy moat. Meanwhile, Ludwig showed slightly more tact in his choice of site. This is where Neuschwanstein Castle is located:
National Geographic
It looks pretty, but the leprechaun infestation has reached epidemic levels.
A shining gem of 19th century building technique and ability as it may be, Neuschwanstein clicks with the Disney castles in more ways than one: Like them, it is merely dressed to impress. The castle was (understandably) a giant money pit, and although its exterior is more or less finished, the vast majority of its interior remains unfinished. The 15 or so rooms that were finished look like this:
The original plan was to include over 200 of those babies.

The inbred monkey spawn of a nigger. Niggers are royal rectum ripping rapists. They are wandering goober nut suck fakers who fuck everything that exists. Their only concern is for the pleasurable placement of their penile piss weasel. Nigglets are exactly the same as their crack addicted counterparts except they are smaller and lack the monstrous mushroom headed meat popsicle between their legs which the full grown niggers use to vandalize virgins with vinerial viruses and vindicate their vendetta against all cultural progress whatsoever.

At the moment, I'm studying for a final exam for a Computer Science course. One of the questions that will be asked is most likely a question on how to combine running times, so I'll give an example.
I was wondering, if I created a program that preprocessed inputs using Insertion Sort, and then searched for a value "X" using Binary Search, how would I combine the running times to find the best, worst, and average case time complexities of the over-all program?
For example...
Insertion Sort
Worst Case O(n^2)
Best Case O(n)
Average Case O(n^2)
Binary Search Worst Case O(logn)
Best Case O(1)
Average Case O(logn)
Would the Worst case be O(n^2 + logn), or would it be O(n^2), or neither?
Would the Best Case be O(n)?
Would the Average Case be O(nlogn), O(n+logn), O(logn), O(n^2+logn), or none of these?
I tend to over-think solutions, so if I can get any guidance on combining running times, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

As some of you may know, Virginia Commonwealth University (my employer) has been undergoing a request for proposal process for a new cloud collaboration system. After several months of vendor interviews, demos, and contract negotiations, the purchasing committee has chosen Google Apps for Education.
VCU has been running Lotus Notes/Domino since 1996. Sixteen years. That's a long time in the IT world. In the course of that time I've been the lead architect, engineer, administrator and sometimes developer. Our first Lotus Notes installation was Notes 4.0. In the last sixteen years, we've implemented various products including Lotus Notes, Sametime, Domino Everyplace, LearningSpace, Quickr, Domino.Doc, and Lotus Notes Traveler, and at one time we had more than 60 Domino servers.
So why switch systems now? In 2009 we moved our 32,000 students from iNotes to Google Apps for Education. And since 2009 I've been the lead on the Google Apps project as well. The move was seamless and allowed us to provide more disk space for student email storage, spend less time supporting email-related issues for students, and improved service and end-user satisfaction. Students are also able to maintain their VCU accounts after graduation – a feature we had not been able to provide on-premises due to resource constraints. We also created a Google domain for alumni that has been very successful.
It was therefore logical for the university to begin looking at cloud collaboration for faculty and staff. Faculty usage of email is quite different from that of students. In fact, faculty use email as if it were instant messaging. It is not uncommon in our environment for one user to have more than 100,000 emails in their Notes database. Faculty also use email as file storage – allowing them to retain documents and commentary about their ongoing research projects. So email is not only transactional in nature, it is historical in its relevance as well. Considering the resources that are required to maintain the ever-growing storage pool, as well as to provide increased availability, moving to a cloud solution made more and more sense.
Has Lotus Notes/Domino been successful at VCU? In my opinion, yes (of course I might be somewhat biased). But in the course of sixteen years, we standardized on one email system, we transitioned users from desktops to web to mobile – our users loved Lotus Notes Traveler! We built work-flow apps that are still in use today after their initial design in 1998.
Will Lotus Notes/Domino still have a place at VCU? Yes. We will of course maintain our current email system during the transition and migration to Google. We will continue to have a smaller Domino implementation as we transition apps to XPages and beyond.
How do I feel as a "Domino Administrator" being told to prepare to move to another system? I'm dragging my heels a tiny bit. After all, this has been part of my work environment for sixteen years. But I also realize that this is a huge opportunity for growth and learning. I'll still have a few Domino servers around to upgrade, and I will be the lead on XPages development work. And as any administrator who has been through a migration project knows, there are always a few problems just around the corner to resolve. So while the servers may be going away, the challenges won't be!
I'm also fortunate to work with a great group of individuals, and the university is embracing the change on all levels. As we move forward I hope to blog about our experiences during the transition to the cloud and my role as an XPages developer.

Cape to Rio connections

The links between South Africa and Brazil can be drawn back a long way.
The seas that supposedly divide these two countries in some sense unite them. Both ancient ships and hi-tech yachts have charted their course along these ocean lines. Pedro Cabral, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was on his way to the Cape of Storms (named so by Bartolomeu Dias, another Portuguese explorer of the age, and one of Cabral's contemporaries) when he landed on the coast of Brazil.
This weekend, on Saturday, January 15, the Cape to Rio fleet set out on a very similar journey. This year's race was special for a number of reasons: Not only did it mark the 40th sailing of the Cape to Rio, but it was also the first sailing for two groups of young students. The City of Cape Town has sponsored two yachts in the race, one crewed by graduates of the Izivunguvungu Sailing School in Simon's Town and the other by young sailors from the Grael Project in Rio de Janeiro.
Set up as a social development initiative in 2001, the Izivunguvungu School teaches sailing and maritime skills as well as normal school subjects to local youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds. The programme has had huge success, producing national sailing champions and top results in a number of dinghy classes.
Upon the arrival of the yachts in Brazil, a city-to-city agreement will be signed between Cape Town and Rio.
"I think it is very appropriate that the Heineken Cape to Rio race, a sailboat race, should underline trade ties," said John Martin, commodore of Cape Town's Royal Cape Yacht Club. "After all, it was only just over a century ago that probably the bulk of the world's trade was carried between continents on sailing ships."
After months of preparation, the yachts started their journey of 5 343km across the Atlantic Ocean, despite the southeaster not playing along. After days of pumping wind in the City Bowl, the Mother City produced an almost wind-still Saturday, and the 20 participating yachts had to hover in Table Bay for around an hour after the official start of the race before they could set sail.
The excitement surrounding the Cape to Rio yacht race points once again to the importance of ocean tourism. Cape Town is a desirable port city and we can leverage ocean events to our benefit, given cooperation and buy-in from all stakeholders, such as local government, sailing clubs, event organisers and the private sector.

I want to learn some Binux usage and/or programming skills and provide an easy to use browser based picture gallery on my local home network. My idea is to have a server machine, that is the Linux machine, and store all my photos in it at some file structure or database. Then I want to access and manage (CRUD = Create Read Update Delete) them from browser on a tablet machine or mobile phone, connected via WLAN to that server machine.
My need is for a program or technology which would be suitable for the purpose of easily show and manage that content.
Is there ready program running on Linux to do that?
If I have to build this from pieces, which technologies are needed to provide the minimum requirements of CRUD ability?
I remember I have seen some file providers that show links to files at browser, but how ready products/technologies there is available to build such a thing up to your home machine?

So this tutorial will lead you step by step on how to draw him. The only note that this is kind of my own take on his suit, which has some changes from the original of the show. Now, stay focus and aim your best on this.

I am not sure about using the past tenses here:
Yesterday I saw my friend who had just finished the university and wanted to go out.
Is that correct? I am not sure about the past perfect but using past simple would (IMO) imply that the actions happened one by one.

Detroit Speed Power Steering Pump Install Project Laguna - Pump It Up!Written by Johnny Hunkins on July 1, 2010 A Lightweight Late-Model Power Steering Pump From Detroit Speed Is The Perfect Match For An Updated Fast-Ratio Steering Box.
The embarrassment was almost too much to bear. By the time we arrived at the Goodguys show in Scottsdale, Arizona, the power steering pump in Project Laguna was all but shot. For two years, we've nursed the Type I (aka P-style) Saginaw pump that originally came with our '75 Laguna, and as we've upgraded the suspension, wheels, tires, horsepower, and steering gearbox, the 35-year-old pump has become increasingly taxed by the rising performance level. When we arrived at Scottsdale's Westworld after a 400-mile drive, that old pump was in its death throes, howling like a banshee.
One solution is to replace the old pump with an otherwise identical rebuilt Saginaw P-style pump. In fact, there's nothing wrong with using a new or rebuilt P-style pump, and for many vehicles and applications, they are more than adequate. Our situation, however, demanded an upgrade to a Type II pump (also called Gen II, or TC pump, for "transverse compact bearing"), which has the capability of producing between 3 and 3.4 gallons per minute at 1,500-rpm shaft speed, and a pressure between 1,250 and 1,450 psi. (An optional flow-control valve is recommended for applications using Mustang II steering. This will reduce flow to approximately 2 gallons per minute.) Type II pumps are also less sensitive to radial belt loading than other types of pumps, making them ideal candidates for hard-core abuse. With the Laguna topping the scale well over 4,000 pounds, and our future plans of autocrossing and road racing, a Type II pump was practically a necessity for the immense sustained pressure it would need to supply.
As luck had it, the folks from Detroit Speed & Engineering were at Goodguys, and they happen to sell a complete lineup of GM Type II pumps and accessories. Going from a Type I pump to a Type II isn't as simple as pulling one off and bolting on the other. The two pumps share few dimensions or boltholes. DSE not only offers the Type I pump in several flavors (cast iron, cast aluminum, polished aluminum, with and without integral reservoir), DSE builds or offers everything you could conceivably need to mount a Type II pump on any small-block, big-block, or LS engine. That includes fluid lines, fittings, pulleys, brackets, reservoirs, and fluid.
We chose the basic cast-iron pump with integral fluid reservoir, which runs $165. Although a lighter aluminum pump is available, the cast-iron Type II pump is significantly lighter than the old Saginaw pump. That's a drop in the bucket for our 2-ton Laguna, but every bit helps. You can buy everything you need right from DSE, but if you've already got a Type II pump off a '80-up GM passenger car, and want to install it on your muscle car, you'll still need all the brackets, spacers, and other accessories required to make it work, and DSE can help you with that as well. (Be warned, however, that some Type II pumps have a .75-inch diameter shaft, so check the compatibility of your pump before ordering a pulley.)
We asked DSE's Kyle Tucker to help with the installation on our Laguna, and he agreed. Tucker is a great guy to hang out with, which we discovered in the three hours it took to complete the swap. It was really cool to pick Tucker's brain about the many parts DSE sells-many of which Tucker (an ex-GM engineer) designed-and to talk with all the PHR readers who took the time to check out the Laguna while we swapped the pump at the DSE hauler. Tucker had us up and running by noon, and we noticed an immediate difference in terms of reduced effort, lower noise, and more smoothness in turning the wheel. Now we're nearly ready to attack the track!

Detroit Speed & Engineering supplied everything we needed to convert to a lighter, quieter, more efficient, and more compact Type II pump. These pumps were original equipment on GMs made from 1980-up, and offer compact accessory routing, higher output, and less mass. It's important to note that all DSE's Type II pumps are brand new, not remanufactured. Our total cost for the conversion: $495.50, including the pump, pulley, bracket kit, hose kit, hard line, fittings, spacers, and all fasteners.DSE's small-block Chevy mounting bracket kit consists of a billet bracket plate, spacers, and fasteners. This piece is really trick, and mounts to the block with two hardened, anodized Allen head bolts. DSE provides a pair of billet spacers that go between the bracket and the block, but their thickness may need to be fine-tuned per the application. The pump's belt adjustment employs a nut captured in a channel behind the curved slot, which makes tightening the belt a cinch.Whether you use one of DSE's pulleys (made by CV Products) or not, you will need the right tool to press the pulley on and off. This implement is KD tool, PN 2897. DSE warns that you should never use a hydraulic press on a press-on pulley as this will damage the pump and/or pump seal. Most press-fit pulleys ride on a .662-inch interference-fit shaft.The CV Products power steering pulley (DSE PN 090801, $65) features a very deep groove for belt retention, a hard coating for durability, and lightening holes that also serve for tool access. Note how all three boltholes can be accessed without turning the pulley. As with all press-fit pulleys, you will need to make slight adjustments to the pulley depth-there is no standard pulley position, and it can vary by as much as a few inches.It is necessary to trial fit the pump/pulley assembly on the bracket several times to check belt alignment with the water pump and crank pulleys. Adjustments to the pulley position or the bracket spacers may be needed. A straightedge on the back of the pulleys-as well as a length of fishing line-works great for checking this.While it's not always a necessity to get the high-pressure hard line for $52.50, it will simplify the connection and routing of the high-pressure pump hose to the steering box. In some instances, such as with Vintage Air's Front Runner accessory system, it's a must-have if you want to access the fitting. A large banjo fitting with two copper crush washers reroutes power steering fluid through the hard line behind the pump and to the other side. Here, the fitting can be easily accessed.
DSE makes a set of short and tall spacers for the pump bracket, and we ended up using the tall ones, cutting them down about a half inch to arrive at the proper height. The small-block application uses two of these while the big-block uses three of them. When you order the bracket kit, we suggest you get both sets of spacers, and return the ones you don't use.The low-pressure return side of the sealed system can be susceptible to vacuum and fluid leaks. Kyle Tucker says the seal between the plastic reservoir nipple and the Teflon-lined return hose is prone to leakage, and he's found that a short length of high-quality Raychem heat-shrink wrap alleviates the problem. This is included in the kit, and gets applied to the nipple prior to clamping the return hose on.We used DSE's braided -6AN hose kit, which includes a high-pressure braided line, a low-pressure (return) braided line, -6AN gearbox adapter fittings (choice of flared compression style, or late-model metric O-ring), and pump fittings. The lines need to be cut to length after you have planned your hose runs carefully. Note how the hose has been taped first to keep the ends from fraying during the cutting process.The pump outlet fitting on the high-pressure hose uses a ferrule and compression fitting. The wedge-shaped ferrule is inserted inside the hose, then is clamped in place by the two pieces of the -6AN fitting. You'll need 3/4-inch and 11/16-inch box wrenches for this operation. Before tightening, it's a good idea to check how you want the fitting clocked relative to the steering box end. This will affect how nicely the hose runs between the box and pump.Some gearboxes use the older-style flared fluid ports (boxes built from 1965-'81) while others have the updated metric O-ring ports ('81-up). Our 14:1 500 Series box from CPP is manufactured for the late-model metric O-ring seal, making it more compatible with modern components. (We'll note that CPP also includes retro fittings to convert to flared compression hoses, so it wouldn't matter on this particular box.) The type of ports on your gearbox will determine which DSE hose kit you order, since the appropriate -AN adapters are included with the DSE hose kit.Once the hoses are routed and connected with a tubing wrench (the low-pressure return hose connects with a hose clamp, so use a nut driver on that one), you can torque the banjo fitting on the pressure-side hard line to 32 ft-lb. Our original V-belt measured 36 inches long, but was too long for the more compact DSE system. We used a 34.5-inch belt, but a 33.5- or 33-inch belt would've been ideal. The shorter belt run and deep-groove CV pulley significantly reduce the possibility of throwing a belt at high rpm.

If I'm on a VPN and accessing sites like Youtube or other's using Google services, am I still at risk for being located geographically via scripts in content I am viewing? Like I think some scripts can read what wifi networks my computer is seeing (other networks) and those networks are not using any security so they can be geographically located and show that my VPN IP is phony and I'm really close to "Billy's Bakery Wifi" and "TMobile Starbucks Springfield,NJ" or somewhere. I assume something like noscript can block some of this but can some of these scripts embed within other scripts that may seem less harmful? I guess VPN can only encrypt your traffic, not truly block a dedicated attack from knowing where you are roughly.
There is no way Javascript code could have access to information related to the WiFi networks in range. This may be possible using a Java applet or ActiveX, but I don't think it is very likely, as the user should permit the applet to run.
There is though another problem you should consider: DNS leak.

Unanswered: Sample ExtJS Core Site
I posted this a while back, but now that we have a special forum and the product is final - here is the link again (hope you don't mind).
I created this site in literally one evening using a few of the ExtJS Core ux site controls.
Note: This is a hobby site created just for fun, all of the code (minus controls) is right there in view source.
This uses JSON and Templates as well as a variation on the tabs implementation. It also loads the content into tabs lazily and retains the content. The photo gallery is all ajax / json and templates (really simple as you can see from the source).
I hope to have a much better demo site .. specifically for the ux controls and maybe a "schools" db where you can "try it".
Any ideas / input is welcome.Joseph Francis,

good site, glad to see Ext Core is applied in real web sites.

This morning I decide to try applying the Pomodoro time boxing technique in my coding, but using it for software development raises some questions I would like to try and resolve before continuing.
On my first try, I completed my coding in 23 minutes, only to discover some serious issues. Do I create a new pomodoro task to fix the issues, which will take only 5 minutes, and then revert to question (1) above, or do I start the timer again on the same task, after a 5 minute break?
More broadly, should I abandon all pomodoros? I mean, if I've been single stepping through suspect code for 25 minutes, and my timer goes, do I really start again? Obviously sometimes critical issues require this, but I would like some broad guidance on cases like this.
What should I be doing with abandoned pomodoros?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Time Warner Cable is adding programming including Food Network and HGTV to the channels available on its on-the-go viewing app to help it keep pay TV subscribers.
The cable operator says it will add those channels, as well as DIY, Travel Channel and Cooking Channel to its TWC TV app. That brings the channels available to watch on the mobile app to 12 nationwide.
The deal could help Time Warner Cable Inc. hold on to its customers as it adds more features. And content provider Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. may benefit in the future if more viewers helps boost its ad revenue.
The cable operator has said its customers used the app nearly 5 million times in June, double the number a year ago.

Purpose of Ext Direct 'AroundCalls'
In the router.php example for Ext Direct I see there are 'before' and 'after' 'AroundCalls'. I also see that, unlike the main RPC calls, the doAroundCalls method only calls flat functions and does not appear to be able to call methods inside of classes. What is the main purpose for these before/after AroundCalls?
Thanks guys,
28 Apr 2009 8:07 AM #2
I'm wrapping up the documentation for a symfony implementation of the router and I need to know how the AroundCalls are intended to be used so I can 'symfonize' them and make them bullet proof. I think Aaron Conran was the author of the original PHP example? Aaron if you're around (or if another Ext member could flag him down for me) that would be a great help. I can have the completed symfony router posted within the next day or two.
Thanks guys,

I want to put a link to an account page in a toolbar. What person should I use to refer to the user's settings? Should I call it 'My Account' or 'Your Account'? I've seen both is use, and I'm not sure which one is correct, or even better.
In addition to the related posts that JonW, called attention to, I think the biggest question to answer is using 'My' vs. 'Your'. We've had a previous question on the subject ("'Your' vs 'My' in user interfaces"), which is a great resource, but my favorite resource on the matter is the Yahoo Design Pattern Library.
Yahoo advises to use 'Your' as the pronoun in most cases, or consider sidestepping the issue entirely ("Bill's Recommendations", for instance). The logic of creating a dialog is pretty sound, in my opinion:
So, to answer your question, I would go with either "Your Account" or possibly even "Dan's Account".
My favourite method is the one employed by Stack Exchange, Google, Flickr, and many other large sites with a strong focus on UX: use their username / real name combination as a clickable link.
This has the dual benefit of hinting to the user if they are logged in as someone else, ans is more personal than the [pronoun] Account approach.
Combinations of {pronoun} account have always made me feel the same way "Dear Customer," email salutation does: generic.
This is probably a bit tangential to your question, but when it comes to registration / sign up forms, "My" tends to perform better than "Your" conversion-wise.
Check out this article - some really interesting examples there.
I have not seen any hard studies suggesting that either is better than the other. I would simply choose one convention and stick to it, keeping the same voice throughout your interface.
That's if you even need the 'my' or 'your' - it's usually repetitive and unnecessary.
As a developer I usually go with "my", that way it seems the app is an extension of themselves instead of something being presented to them by someone else
In my opinion it's definitely better to identify the user than to use either pronoun. So the answer would be "fredley's account".
It's more personal, but more importantly it makes it clear what's going on if the user is intentionally or accidentally accessing someone else's account. In the accidental case, I'd immediately think "wait a minute, I'm not fredley!" In the intentional case, suppose I was updating some information on behalf of my boss Mary: there's going to be some mental friction when I see "my account" (or "your account"); I want Mary's account!
This is an interesting question, and one that actually seems to receive a lot of attention in areas outside of UI design. To take a page from the marketing peeps behind this new wave of "We're a happy, caring part of your family" approach to consumer contact-heavy industries like banking and sales, it's really about how you'd like your user to perceive their relationship with your product.
It's a bit of a double-edged sword actually. A subtle as it might seem, establishing the illusion of a seemingly innocuous but personal connection to your user, and backing it up with delivery of course, actually increases loyalty. And that's exactly what the banks are... err, banking on.
But it's pretty service-specific. If your app or site is focused on selling something arbitrary (from an emotional perspective), are your users REALLY expected to believe that you're personally invested in sharing a part of their experience with them? Is that even an appropriate thing for your service to imply?
Anyway, long story short, it comes down to the context. Is it about them? (My space, my money, my property listing) Or is it about what you're offering? (Your order status, your place in queue, your departure time).
Either way, as the designer, you're account-able (ho ho ho).
I would just call it "Acccount". I don't think there's any track learning you how to address to your viewers, even so the approach might vary depending on business or service. More people are using for clear concise information. Why bother overthinking something plain simple when you could easisly call it Account ? I really don't think someone will be mad at it, after all it's working for such popular services like Gmail.
I wouldn't say it does matter very much in general, yet in particular cases My may prove more effective than Your. You might want to provide AB testing for this, it is going to be quite simple, as most probably it is just a text link, so you can easily check how it performs in your case.
In general, there are two schools: one saying that My makes the site more personal, and the other one saying that the system user interacts with is actually his/her minion, so it should work like a servant rather than mimicking you. I prefer the second way.
However I think it would be great to display username, or real name somewhere in the top bar / side bar. If you use e.g. Facebook login, you can even display a photo. It works better due to security reasons - people will treat it more privately and will tend to log out on shared machines. Besides, you can build a nifty "Welcome, Jack Smith - go to your account, - log out" - you refer to the user as in conversation, so the choice becomes simple.
I believe it depend on the way you think. for me when a user logged into the system/site i wont the user to think that he is part of the system, so i prefer "My Account". but if you can add users first name or user name and make it with that(e.g: "Hulk's Account","ncw's Account") then that way is also better.

What with the vast majority of pop songs being what they are, about glamour and other trivial things, B.o.B. and Taylor Swift's "Both of Us" is a breath of fresh air. It deals with the effects of the economic recession that is plaguing our country.
The music video, released June 27, 2012, was shot in Nashville, Tennessee. But rather than depicting the honky-tonks or other popular celebrity haunts, B.o.B. and Swift insert themselves into the adversity afflicting the grittier neighborhoods of Nashville. The lyrics center on this adversity, but rather than bemoaning the plight of the people, they stress the importance of the little things in life.
The video begins with B.o.B. in a small house and Taylor Swift in a pool hall. Shots of mobile homes, regular people, children playing, and many other everyday things permeate the video. B.o.B. and Swift tell us with their words to enjoy life, make the most of the opportunities presented to you, and make your own opportunities. They tell us that we're not alone, we can get out of these hard times, but also that even in the midst of adversity, there can be great things. The audience is left observing B.o.B. and Taylor Swift living their lives as regular people in rural Tennessee.
Enjoy the video on the MTV website:

The Portuguese winger and the Red Devils manager have both been sanctioned in the wake of their actions during their Champions League last-16 tie with the Spanish championsManchester United winger Nani has been handed a one-match ban from Uefa for his red card against Real Madrid in the Champions League, with Sir Alex Ferguson fined £8,500 for refusing to fulfil media olbigations in the aftermath of the defeat.
The Red Devils lost the tie 2-1 after the Portuguese winger was sent off on the hour mark, sparking widespread fury that was typified by his manager's decision not to speak to the media after the game.
However, Uefa have backed the initial decision - made my Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir - as well as handing Sir Alex a hefty fine for his post-match reaction.
A Uefa statement read: "Manchester United FC midfield player Nani has been suspended for one match by Uefa's Control and Disciplinary Body, following the red card he received at the Uefa Champions League round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid CF at Old Trafford on 5 March.
"Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson has been fined 10,000 for non-fulfilment of the post-match media obligations at the same match."
United are currently top of the Premier League, holding a 15-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City.
