All KDE documentation is produced in DocBook XML format, and writers are encouraged to learn it (although it's by no means necessary, and we're very happy to receive documentation written in plain text). Although DocBook can look somewhat intimidating to beginners, the markup is extremely self-descriptive, and many people find it easier than HTML to learn.
In this chapter, we'll just take a basic overview of the ideas behind DocBook. For detailed information about individual tags and so on, please see Appendix A. DocBook Reference.
DocBook is just an application of XML, so if you're familiar with XML, then you'll feel right at home. If not, don't worry, as most of the gory details aren't required knowledge for simply writing and updating documentation. A DocBook file (and, indeed, any XML file) consists of plain text, with tags surrounding some text to tell you (or a computer) what that text represents. So, a snippet from a DocBook file might look like:
<para>To display the clipboard history, click on the &klipper; icon in the &kde; panel, or press <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>V</keycap></keycombo>. Previous clipboard entries are shown at the top of the popup menu which appears.<para>
<para> and
</para> show the start and end, respectively, of a paragraph. These delimiting marks are called "tags", and the content they contain (along with the tags) is called an "element". The
<keycombo> tag has an extra piece of information specified:
action="simul". This is called an "attribute," and makes the tag more specific. The words surrounded by & and ; are "entities". They are simply variables that expand to some other text, and are widely used in KDE documentation. See KDE Specialities for more information about entities. Tags, entities, comments and other parts of XML that aren't simple text are referred to as "markup."
One of the basic principles behind the use of DocBook in KDE is that content and presentation are strictly separated. DocBook files contain the content, and XSL files contain the information about presentation. This has a number of advantages, some of which are:
In practice, this means that you should add markup that describes what things are and not how they should appear. So, in the example above, the
<keycombo> (a keyboard shortcut) tells the reader (or computer) that the keys Ctrl, Alt and V should be pressed simultaneously, but doesn't say anything about how that should be displayed in the final output. (In fact, it appears as "Ctrl + Alt + V", but it
could equally be converted to "C-M-V" à la Emacs or even some other way of showing keyboard shortcuts. What's important is that the DocBook source has the "information" necessary to work out what is being referred to.)
KDE-isms: entities, necessary bits (credits, translation stuff)
Entities (which are simply variables which expand to some other text) are an important part of DocBook markup, and are used particularly widely in KDE documentation. For example, there are entities defined for almost all KDE applications. Therefore, when referring to, for example, Konqueror in documentation, you should use:
&konqueror; is, among other things, a web browser.
This has several advantages. Firstly, it ensures that applications are capitalized and marked-up consistently across all KDE documentation. This means that you don't have to remember whether the help center program is KHelpCenter, KHelpcenter or Khelpcenter: the entity (which is always entirely lowercase) automatically expands to the correct one.
There are entities defined for several classes of names:
&ie; and "e.g." as
⪚. This ensures that the same markup and capitalization are used for these abbreviations throughout KDE documentation. Technological abbreviations such as HTTP and XML also have entities, which are capitalized as usual (i.e.,
&HTTP; and
&XML; for the previous examples).
trademark tag, using the
class="registered" attribute if necessary. To reduce effort, and ensure that trademarks are given proper acknowledgment, many common technology-related trademarks have been given entities. For example, the entity
&X-Window; expands to X Window System®.
&Firstname.Lastname (or
&Firstname.Initial.Lastname). Email addresses of contributors have entities of the form
keycap or
keysym. Since it can be difficult to distinguish between these two tags, entities have been created for common keys, e.g.,
&Ctrl; and
The definitions of these entities can be found in the following locations in KDE:
There are several sections that appear in all KDE DocBook files, even though they are not required by DocBook itself:
<!ENTITY package "kde-module"> <!ENTITY % addindex "IGNORE"> <!ENTITY % English "INCLUDE">
authorgroup element, and is a required placeholder for use in translation (also known as "i18n" from the number of letters between the first and the last of the word "internationalization").

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Franklin.
The Simpson County Sheriff's Office says two males entered an apartment on Clark Street Friday morning.
Deputies say 37 year old Kenneth Rosa and 20 year old Dimitri Damarcus Bell were armed with handguns and tied four residents up.
One of the tied up residents was able to break free, and chased the suspects on foot.
A short time later deputies say the suspects were arrested and found cash and a cell phone taken from the residence.
Each are charged with robbery in the 1st degree and unlawful imprisonment.
Additional charges are pending.

The City of Monterey received a $25,000 grant from the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) for the preparation of a National Historic Landmark District (NHLD) Survey and Context Statement. The historic context statement will identify the themes in the historical development of this area significant at local, state and national levels, establish periods of historical significance, identify associated property types with their character defining features, and establish evaluation criteria and integrity thresholds for important property types sufficient to provide a framework for evaluating resources individually and as district contributors for the National, California, and local registration programs. Although the context will address the appropriate themes and boundaries for the NHLD and establish eligibility requirements for the district, it will also address the identification and evaluation of additional themes and property types using National Register, California Register, and local register criteria.

I want to add PSM (Prespective shadow map) to my engine but I have problems with that. I think the problem is somewhere in my math code so I want debug Nvidia PracticalPSM sample and compare the math result in the sample and in my engine so maybe I could find the bug
When I want to compile the sample with VS2005 I get some linker error with DXUT functions maybe it is due to that the static lib DXUT.lib that included is compiled with VS2003 and dose not work probably with VS2005 then I added DXUT source codes from SDK 9.5 to the solution and the sample compiles this time.
When I hit F5 to run the sample it complains about nv_nvb.dll but only release version of nv_nvb.dll is included in the sample and I copied that to debug folder when the program starts it crashes in NVBscene9.cpp line 283.
I don't know why it crashes here.
you can download the sample code from here

ProMat 2013: Tempered enthusiasm
If the findings from our 2012 Warehouse and Distribution Center (DC) Operations Survey are any indication, my guess is that the show floor at ProMat 2013 will be steeped in tempered enthusiasm.
The responses revealed that as we continue to slog through the slowest recovery on record, warehouse and DC decision makers are pretty much split into two camps heading into 2013: those taking a conservative position on materials handling equipment spending and those who are ready to turn on the jets and do something truly revolutionary inside their operations.
In fact, the majority (52%) told us that they're going to continue to be cautious and remain focused on fundamental improvements such as process reconfiguration, racking, and software upgrades with a concentration on labor management. This statistic reveals that the cost control efforts put forth during the heart of the recession are still in play with many—and perhaps burnt into our collective consciousness.
However, we did find a more aggressive group at the other end of the spectrum: the 17% who reported that they spent $1 million or more in 2012 and another 16% who are planning to spend the same or more in 2013. "That's money planned for significant projects and an indicator that these companies are doing more than just replacing worn out equipment," says Don Derewecki, senior consultant with our survey partner TranSystems.
It's also an indication that many of those managers have done their best to shave points off their operating costs over the past few tough years—and now the low-hanging fruit is gone. "So, they're starting to get more aggressive and finally looking to squeeze the trigger on investments in mechanization and automation," says Derewecki.
And, when the doors open next month at ProMat in Chicago's McCormick Place (Jan. 21-24), we're projecting that the mixed signals emanating from our readers will set the tone for the event.
While there may be a fair amount of "tire kicking" from that 52% working on a wish list, I have a feeling that there will be more strategic conversations happening this year—more warehouse and distribution center decision makers sitting down with systems integrators, automation and technology vendors to discuss how to piece together the "game-changing" solution.
"This will be a breakthrough year for many organizations in terms of upgrading systems," says Derewecki. "According to the findings, corporate is making its presence felt inside the warehouse and DC now more than ever, and there's an increasing recognition of the importance of the operations inside the four walls and how much money needs to be spent there."
So, expect McCormick Place to fill with a warm glow of enthusiasm next month. While it may not be enough for a January thaw, it should be enough to foster the growth of fundamental change inside the warehouse and DC operations of many of today's supply chain visionaries.

Beautiful Fragrance
My daughter and I stumbled upon this lovely fragrance by accident one day while shopping in a small boutique in Ft. Lauderdale. We bought the rollerball to try it out. It since has become her favorite fragrance. I just surprised her by sending the large bottle to her at college.
I don't usually like rose scents, but this is unique and truly beautiful. It has a richness to it; it's warm, but also fresh. I think it's versatile, because it can be cozy in winter, and lush on a warm sunny day. I definitly recommend it. It has good lasting power, especially for a cologne.
Flow Surge
This scent is by far my favorite of all time!! I fell in love with it after finding it for sale at a day spa and have been using it ever since. It is light while also having a robust floral tone, and what I would describe as a vanilla undertone. It just makes me feel good and gives me a sense of excitement when I wear it! Love love!!
Light & beautiful scent
Kimono Rose has been my favorite stapled scent for the last 8 years. I have repurchased it over and over. It's light, but lasting! Not overpowering, just beautifully breathable. I absolutely adore it.

|West Slope from Ritter Lakes (again)
Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2009
|Four hours to the top from Lake Catherine, with Denny. Some snow/ice still on the west slope, covering the entrance to the ramp between lower and upper bowls, and partially obstructing the upper bowl. What is a class-2 route under ideal conditions, thus necessitated some simple class-3 moves this time. Back the same way. Went on to solo climb Mt. Davis, next door, later in the afternoon.

Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2009
|Originally planned to be a three-day adventure, we headed home a day early after getting off the planned route and wandering into the Clyde Variation. We climbed up the southernmost gully through solid snow and left the gully late, and didn't want to descend, to struck off across the snow bowl high. Climbed up the snow chute between the Ritter pinnacles, and encountered bulletproof ice and loose snow. Thinking I could get across the loose snow to the Southeast Glacier, I attempted the traverse and fell about 50 feet to the rock face and loose crud below. Was fortunate not to be hurt by hitting the rocks with my feet in front of me. Sufficiently sketched out enough to gingerly descend the loose rock to the more solid snow below and loop around the pinnacle and out following existing climbers' boot prints in the snow. Next time, we'll avoid the Clyde Variation and stick to the normal route!

|N face (Muir route) up, SE glacier down
Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2008
|Starting at 7.37 instead of 6.00 (from camp at Ediza Lake) like originally planned (stayed up & hung out with later than anticipated Dutch & Jim, whom I'd just met at the adjacent campsite- very cool guys) proved fateful, as I missed the return shuttle by ~1:50 (I could have spent less time at the summit- that, combined with the late start, would've made the difference). I am thus typing this entry at work the following day after approximately 1 hour of sleep since summit/return day yesterday (it's going to be a long day).
Regardless, it was a beautiful day, despite the day prior having numerous hail/rain incidents, as well as rapidly-moving early morning clouds that initially caused me some concern.Oh yeah, there were TONS of mosquitoes too- I probably killed a few hundred of the little bastards myself. Horrific. Anyway, aside from the snow being quite soft, conditions were splendid. The area surrounding Ritter & Banner I believe to be one of the prettiest in the Sierra. Always a joy to be there.
The route that ol' Muir picked out was a gem- a steep N face climb up from the glacier, good exposure & quite enjoyable. A very nice way to follow in the footsteps of a legend. Summited at 12.44, staying until 13.29. Views up top were spectacular, particularly with everything higher up still having a mantel of snow. Great day.

|Slog from Minaret Vista
Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2008
|After the Memorial Day weekend snow left the high country dicey with 1-2+ feet of unconsolidated snow we opted for a super slog of Ritter from the locked gate at Minaret vista. Climbed the Clyde variation of the SE glacier route almost exclusively in snowshoes (based on our previous experience above the Hourglass Couloir on Mt. Dade a few days earlier), with the exception being the traverse of the SE glacier where we opted for crampons. Views were great, we didn't see another person from TH to TH, and even caught a ride from the Reds Meadow store manager back up the road to the gate. Great trip!

|Awesome climb! The snow on the saddle was a bit soft for my crampons. My points just cut through the snow like butter, even though it was still early in the day. A smaller snowfield at the base of the north face was quite icy though, and I was glad my crampons were sharp for that. Took the right chute up through some class 3 ledges, which was very enjoyable. The ramp was snow-free and full of loose rock, so we took the class 3 bypass on the side. Descended the SE glacier, which was snow-free as well. 13 hours R/T. Tagged Banner too.

It's spring. The time of year that trees start to leaf out. I have been watching them, and noticed an interesting pattern. The unhealthy trees of a species leafs out first. I've noticed this especially with the wild black cherries. The hollow and damaged trees and the ones in poor conditions leaf out a week ahead of the good ones. The last ones to leaf out are the strongest in the area. This is not just a casual observation, and I have kept careful track of it. What causes this?
Trees that have been dormant over the winter exist on nutrients stored in their roots during fall. When a tree has been damaged or diseased, it may not have been able to store enough nutrients before winter, or may not have enough stored to heal the damage/disease. If the damaged/diseased tree has depleted its winter root stores, it must leaf out (earlier than others of its species) and resume photosynthesis in order to have enough energy to attempt healing itself.

Concerning Sunday's article "A better answer," about discipline in Fall River Public Schools, I am still scratching my head as to what this article is trying to point out with its statistics. No one is playing the race card, but the article alludes to the fact white students are being punished less.
Well, if the rules of the school are being followed the same way for everyone, then what difference does it make who is being disciplined? If the statistics show that more minority students are making the honor, are we then going to say something is wrong? You can turn this situation into a million different angles.
I have a better idea: Let's start with students being responsible for the their own behavior in the classroom. Have them take accountability for their own education. If that doesn't work, how about going back to basics and making the parents responsible for the actions of their kids?
Why are we now going to have classes on classroom management for teachers? How about classes for parents so they can take their old job back and discipline their own kids!
The real problem is that we don't want to admit that we are in a new age with these kids. Respect, values and morals have gone by the wayside. So what do we do? We hold the teachers accountable. Any teacher who spends more than five minutes on a discipline problem has spent five minutes too long.
I have a great idea: Let's go back to the times when a teacher's sole job was to teach. If the article's intent is to point out fairness, then let's point out that for every five minutes spent on discipline, that's five minutes away from the students who want to learn. I should know, I work at New Bedford High School!

ST2.0 app : Beelink (beelinkapp.com)
I have been playing with SenchaTouch 2 since the first developer preview. It has been a great framework to learn and a lot of fun. Today I'm happy to introduce you something I've built this past couple of months thanks to this amazing piece of software.
Beelink is a mobile application that enables you to easily fullfill & keep up-to-date your contacts' information in your smartphone address book.
Our website is : https://beelinkapp.com
Currently the application is running on the 2.0.1 & we are working on a 2.1b2 port (that shows some nice perf improvements!). Will love to read any question/feedback you may have on this.

CARROLLTON - Carroll Electric Cooperative Inc. is introducing a new device called a "Kill a Watt EZ Monitoring Meter" to help members and nonmembers identify which of their appliances are using the most electricity and where they can save money by cutting usage.
Community members can begin checking out these devices at participating local libraries in and around the cooperative's service territory. They are available at the Puskarich Public Library Scio branch and the Tuscarawas County Public Library Tuscarawas branch.
"Being aware of how your home uses energy is key to reducing usage and costs," Larry Fenbers, CEO/general manager, said. "We are excited that local libraries have agreed to accept the donation of these devices and help us assist community members in making more informed decisions about energy savings."
Carroll Electric has had a Kill a Watt rental program in place for two years, but the program has been limited to cooperative members. As the price of electricity is projected to increase, the cooperative saw a need to help all community members understand their electric usage habits and help control their costs, it was noted.
The Kill a Watt meter allows individuals to test appliances like electric space heaters, refrigerators and even game consoles to see how much these appliances and electronic devices affect their monthly electric bill, according to Fenbers.
Carroll Electric has donated several of the devices to libraries throughout the cooperative service territory and they are now the property of the libraries and follow their individual guidelines for loan periods. Contact a local participating library to check loan periods and restrictions. You must have a valid library card in order to borrow a "Kill a Watt" device through this program.
Also, Carroll Electric members may continue to borrow a "Kill a Watt" device from the cooperative office. Carroll Electric members are not required to hold a library card to borrow the device directly from the cooperative office.
The device plugs into a wall outlet and then the user plugs an appliance or electronic into the device. It then monitors how much electricity the appliance is using and displays the result on a small screen.
For information, call (800) 232-7697 or go online at www.cecpower.coop.

Mentor toddler does ALS ice bucket challenge; nominated her dad, Dora the Explorer and Barbie
MENTOR, Ohio - You may have already seen little 2-year-old Ashley do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Ellen Degeneres's website, through TIME or a number of other national and international outlets.
But even so, you probably didn't know she hails from northeast Ohio.
Either way, it bears repeat viewing no matter how tired you think you are of watching Ice Bucket Challenge videos.
Can't wait to see if Dora the Explorer and Barbie respond to her nomination. We're sure her dad, Mike Weber, probably has already.

Anyone else working full time, more than 5 days and get little to no overtime?
I love my job, most of the time. My problem is that when I work 6 days, it only gives me 41 hours, so I only get an hour of overtime. I'm beginning to wonder if it's even worth it half the time! It's supposed to only be 2 weeks a month, but sometimes if someone is sick or takes vacation, it can be more. In fact, the next three weeks, I'm working 6 days. My normal work week is 35 hours (the store I work at is only open 7 hours during the week, 6 on Saturday). I am then only one in the company that has this happen, as the other person that works 6 days the two weeks I don't works two days a week at a store that is open 8 hours, so she gets 3 hours of overtime. It seems to be a little better, because you lose most of the day stuck at work. I was wondering who else was crazy enough to do this, or if I'm the only one?
29 Answers answer
I do not get paid overtime, but do have to work irregular hours occasionally (last week for example, I worked 7:30am-5pm and then 7pm-9:30pm for a few days).
But I do love my job too.
in this day and age and especially this economy: be happy you have a job.
if you don't like the hours tighten your availablibilty but be prepared to loose hours or the job.
I have to agree with @moosezilla. I'm stuck working part time and I'd probably die happy if I was in the position where overtime was even a possibility. In my area even the crappy fast food jobs are coveted.
It isn't necessarily fair, but then, nothing in life is. @baybei, you should look at this differently.
When you work six days a week, you finally get that 40 hour work week, and a better paycheck. In addition, you get overtime for one of those hours, so it's a bonus. You will be much happier in life if you don't spend too much time comparing your lot to the next fellow (so to speak).
I worked many 80 and 90 hour weeks, and I always got paid for 40 of them. I knew plenty of people in other areas of the company that worked less than 40 hours, and still got paid for 40...until times got hard, and then they got a permanent vacation. I had a great job, and I miss it, now and then, but that's the way it goes.
If you love your job, count yourself fortunate. There are plenty of people working that don't, and there are plenty more people not working that would like to be.
It is what it is.
Nope, no overtime here. But, as others have said, I like my job (and the people I work with most days) so it's all good. If I occasionally put in some unpaid extra hours, it balances the days when there is a woot-off. :)
@shrdlu: Valid point. I guess it just frustrates me sitting there on a beautiful Saturday, not getting much OT. Then to have my boss say, "Think of the overtime you'll get". And I think, it's only 1 hour of OT. I guess I should just look at it more positively, as in 40 hours instead of 35, maybe that will make it less annoying.
The plus side is, I work a store at least twice a week that's pretty slow, and I can spend my free time (after the work is done) crafting or reading. The owners are generous (A gift card for $25 on Thanksgiving, and a Christmas bonus), even if they refuse to give raises, getting a Christmas bonus from such a small company is a plus. My boss has been my friend since grade school, and I have job security as long as I don't do something stupid like steal, or get drunk on the job. I mean, I seriously love my job, I think it's just gorgeous Saturdays, and stuck at work with little OT that gets me. I'll try your suggestion though, it will probably help.
@moosezilla: I think I'll just tell her I won't work any Saturdays other than the ones I'm scheduled for. She can't be mad at that. The reason I'm working an extra one is because she didn't want to.
At the moment I'm unemployed.
I have never, ever, worked a job that paid overtime. And that "never, ever" represents a long time.
I work 6 days a week every week unless I take vacation. Recently my hours were cut so I am scheduled one 8 hour day, one 3 hour day and four 2 hour days for 19 hours.
Before that I worked those hours plus on the 5 short days I would have a 3 or 4 hour unpaid break and then work 2 more hours. I live about 20 to 30 minutes from work depending on the time of day so it was tough to justify the time and gas money to drive home. Either way if shoots the whole day.
I do get a few extra hours with summer vacations. Monday I get to drive an extra 45 miles to pick up 3 hours of work.
I work a two week shift of 42-1/2 hours one week and 50-1/2 the next in a pay period, all on salary. I put in a few extra hours "overtime" on weekends that I don't get compensated for, but I am glad I have work. I understand your frustration, but we all have to work on nice days as well as nasty ones. Just smile and keep depositing those paychecks. :)
As the owner of my business, I work 7 days a week. I have never had a vacation or a paid day off in my career. I never get sick days. I get paid last, which means sometimes I don't get paid, and there is no overtime. But of course, our president says I've had nothing to do with building my business because someone else did it. Consider yourself lucky, and quit yer bitchin.
@nortonsark: Why not stop trying to bring politics into it and try to learn to run a business better, then?
I work 2 day shifts and 3 night shifts and I don't get 2 days off in a row...
Day shifts start at 8AM and finish up between 6 and 8PM, on very rare occasions I get out around 5... Night shifts start around 4 PM and finish between mid-night and 2AM and on rare occasions even later than that...
Last week I worked a 6 day week, 4 day shifts and & 2 night shifts, I was just under 60 hours excluding the commute which adds another 12 to 15 hours a week...
During renovations a few years back I worked 6 and 7 day weeks for about 4 months, Mondays thru' Fridays 7AM to 7PM and then Saturday nights and some Sundays... They couldn't just give me time off for all of the extra days so that was the only time I got a check for the extra effort.... It went into a savings account...
I work days, nights, weekends and holidays and have had this schedule or something similar for over 20 years... I have distant fond memories of 35 or 40 hour weeks with holidays off... Enjoy your time...
@nortonsark: You should listen to someone who hasn't run a business or built something with his own hands or created something out of his own efforts...
In the grand scheme of things they really don't know much and aren't worth listening to....
@nortonsark: If you own the business, why don't you set your own hours? Who "elected" the president? Are you "over: him/her? Sounds like you two might want to sit down and hammer our a more fair work schedule? If you own the business, something just doesn't sound right.
@okham: I hope those extra, unpaid hours come back to you in some form; whether it be time off, bonuses, perks, etc. It's ok to do that, once in a while, for a job you like, but someone is making money out of your efforts and it really needs to be a reciprocal situation.
@mtm2: Wow, never worked where they had overtime, that's pretty harsh. Every job I have had does pay OT over 40 hours. I wish you luck finding a job!
@pattiq: Ouch is all I can say to that! I don't think I would ever work with a schedule like that.
@jsimsace: Ah, salary, in my opinion the worst idea ever! And a 45 mile drive? The farthest I have to go for my one store is 25 miles (each way) 3 days a week.
@nortonstark: One of the many reasons I don't own my own business. Unless you count the fact that I am a flea market vendor at least once a month all summer. Also, I was not bitchin. I was simply frustrated, especially at my boss who is always telling me think of the OT. She would get 6 hours OT if she worked, and she's making me work because she doesn't want to one of the Saturdays.
@hobbitss: Wow, that's a crazy schedule.
@baybei: Where did you come up with the 45 mile response? Just curious, because I didn't say that in my reply.
I feel your pain, but you are in retail, right? No overtime is allowed at all where I work. Even getting one minute is grounds for corrective action. The average shift is only 4-6 hours, so for most employees they have to work 6 days to even hit close to 40. A few choose to work 7 days. I'm lucky to get 8 hour shifts, but currently, my "weekend" is Tuesday and Thursday. See, that occasional Saturday doesn't look so bad now, does it?
@baybei: Strictly speaking, if you are not exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, your employer is required by law to pay you overtime for any hours you work in excess of 40/week. Of course, there are some quirks in the law regarding IT and police jobs, among others.
Having said that, just because something is required by law doesn't mean your employer will do it. And, of course, I can't tell from any of this whether your job is exempt or non-exempt, but it might be something you will want to investigate. Also, even if you ARE non-exempt you might not be in a position to challenge your employer at this time. However, I strongly urge you to document all of the OT you work and maintain a copy of that information at home.
Lordy! Retired from HR only three weeks and I'm already bored enough to ENJOY answering HR questions!
@jsimsace: My bad! I tried to remember everyone separately in my response, and messed up somehow. I believe it was the person before you who said that.
@gwendyw: Not quite retail, thank heavens! I left that mess about 7 years ago now. Currently I'm working for a self-storage place. I think most stores are only open 7 hours, so they can prevent having to pay OT. They all used to be 8, but they cut back all but the one the manager works in (favoritism I think).
@belyndag: Please, if I get stuck 15 minutes late, they won't pay me! I have to stay for at least 20, then they will pay me 1/2 hour. Getting stuck 5-10 minutes late happens more than I'd like to admit though. They find their way around it, trust me. Being a small business, I gave up fighting almost everything. Thanks for the advice though, I'm going to maintain better records for myself just in case there is ever I time I can do something!
I have been accused of bringing politics into this discussion. What I am trying to do is bring some perspective. I am a veterinarian in my own business. I am available 24/7 for patient emergencies. I therefore cannot set my own hours, as my patients set them for me. I also treat patients when the owner does not have funds available and sometimes I get stiffed on the bill, but at least the animal was treated. This is my choice. No one makes me do it. The purpose of my comment was to point out that a business owner is not usually an SOB trying to rip-off anyone who does business or works with him/her. The business owner makes a lot of sacrifices to keep it running, especially in a poor economy. A lot of people (our president included) seem to not understand this basic fact of life. If that is bringing politics into the discussion, so be it. I consider it bringing some reality into it.
i'm working 89 hrs every 2 weeks right now, 6 days a week. it sucks as in i have no life, but what is a life anyway when you have money.
I get paid for 35 hours a week and am not eligible for overtime. Unless I am on vacation (as in away from home, not just taking a day or two off), It is rare that I don't work at least 40 to 45 hours and many weeks I work 50 or more.
I'd be very glad to get any money at all for the extra hours I have to work. Even at 1/4 my regular rate, it would be the equivalent of at least four weeks' extra pay or almost an 8% raise (and I'd probably be willing to do it).
After my younger daughter goes away to college (in ~14 months), I will probably look for a second job; at least it would help pay for their tuition.
We are all paid for 40 hours where I work though our schedule is based on a 37.5 hour work week. You are scheduled for 8.5 hours but get 1 hour for lunch, so you are only working 7.5 hours a day. Well, that's most people....I on the other hand spend no less than 45 hours a week there, and during the winter months that number climbs to somewhere in the 60's, but I am overtime exempt, so no matter what, I still only get paid for 40 hours. And there are no weeks where you work less than 40 hours and still get paid for the 40, there is just too much work for that to happen. With all that said, I am very fortunate to have my job, I've been there over 14 years and I like what I do (most of the time). You just have to weight the benefits vs the things that suck, and if there's enough things there that make you happy, then the things that suck don't matter as much.
@baybei: "my boss who is always telling me think of the OT. She would get 6 hours OT if she worked [ but I would only get one hour OT]"
Have you thought of pointing this out to her? Since she "always" brings it up as a supposed advantage of working that extra day, it's possible that she may somehow not be aware of how different your circumstances are.
@ginawoot: Yes, I have, her response is oh yeah. Then she continues to point that out every time she tells me I have to work on my scheduled Saturday off :/
@baybei: Personally, I'd strongly suggest that not pointing it out any more is in your best interest.
Let it go.
I can sympathize with the "being stuck inside when you want to go out and play" mindset. I work on the 8th floor of a 40 year old building with windows that don't open, and when the weather is nice I just itch to get out of this place. But that doesn't mean I am not grateful to have a job that meets all my financial needs and allows me to do good in the world. And I have a huge office with a wall of windows, so I can enjoy the sunlight even if I can't get a breath of fresh air. I just make sure once I get home to open all the windows and doors and take my book or laptop out to the sofa swing under the big tree in my yard and enjoy the little slice of lovely weather I get to call my own.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 2006 --The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today announced that it will hold public meetings on viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), a destructive pathogen responsible for several large-scale fish deaths in the Great Lakes region. The meetings will be held in Colorado and Tennessee Jan. 9, 2007, and in Michigan and Pennsylvania, Jan. 10, 2007, from 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. local time. Registration for the meeting opens at 8:00 a.m. and is required.
The purpose of these meetings is to educate the public and all interested parties on the current measures in place to prevent the spread of VHS, a disease that affects at least 37 fish species, and to gather suggestions from the public on preventing and containing this disease. Written comments submitted at the meetings will be added to the meeting records.
Interested parties can attend any or all meetings held in the following locations:
VHS produces clinical signs in fish including internal hemorrhaging and death. It does not affect humans. On Nov. 14, APHIS issued a modified federal order to allow Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to move live species of fish susceptible to VHS interstate under conditions designed to prevent the spread of the disease. Conditions for interstate movement of these fish vary depending on whether the live fish are being transported for slaughter, research or other purposes. The modified federal order also allows the importation of salmonids into the United States from Ontario and Quebec, Canada, under the normal rules for importation of that species.

I know some people are bored with the game (again), but I still find things to love, or suck me in.
I'm a bad raider, a bad PvPer, a bad Mage, well a bad pretty much everything "hardcode"
Not only do I find myself switching between characters on a regular basis (as I was explaining to tjey_misaki last night), but also between activities, and even, quite often actually, I find myself being really bad and doing… well, doing nothing.
But what I realise is that Cataclysm has so much to offer from the daydreamer like myself, to the focused nutter.
It could be whirlwinds in Westfall…
Cleaning the streets of Stormwind...
Wondering why a portal to anywhere, can only take you a couple of places
Maybe, like me, you take great pleasure in the idea of beheading Worgen
Sometimes spending time in the Battlegrounds, gorging yourself of Tauren chops, requires a little after dinner nap
Maybe riding a camel into battle really floats your boat
For me, one of my great pleasures is just soaring over Stormwind (as will become readily apparent)
That and running like hell from a big monster with a big squid for a head (ironic as it is Squidly doing the running)
Or maybe it's just the quiet night air… and the moon.
How about wondering whether an iceblock can save your from every certain death?
The answer, btw, is no…
Wondering what the designers were smoking.. come on, they must have been smoking something…
Although they could just be on mushrooms…
Or just getting a little bit close to nature…
Really, imagine designing a zone that not only can people fly around in 3d, viewing it from all angles and heights, but also designing it right down to the smallest details so when a Gnome consumes nearly enough mushrooms, they are swaying in the breeze with the little flowers.
Then there is the moon of course…
It's always there, or so it feels…
Do you ever look up, rather than straight ahead?
Do you get out of the instance long enough to see the clouds in the sky?
If you don't, then maybe you should interrupt your busy raiding schedule and take some time for yourself to experience the magic that Mages can't create, the magic that comes with the monthly subscription.
The magic that Blizzard's designers have given us.
Let me assure you, this magic is significantly more epic that all the purples in Azeroth.
Gnomer and Out!

11:00 PM - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!
CAT's DIARY :
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed
hash or some sort of dry nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I
nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly
demonstrates what I am capable of.
However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.
I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.
However, I
could hear the noises and smell the food.
I overheard that my
confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.
' I must learn what this
means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this
again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges.
He is regularly released - and
seems to be more than willing to return.
He is obviously retarded.
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.
I love that thing! And it's so true! My cats are always trying to kill me, and we have to lock them in a room when company is over. They're always trying to get into rooms and out of the house, and all that other stuff. Except, one of our cats adores her "rations".
Once again, I loves it!

About Cape Town Tourism
Cape Town Tourism is the City of Cape Town's official regional tourism organisation, responsible for destination marketing, visitor and industry services.
Successful tourism doesn't just boost economies – it builds pride too. Cape Town Tourism believes in close encounters, people as the focus point of tourism, responsible living and immersion in the destinations and cultures we visit – this is what gives tourism in Cape Town its unique energy and appeal.
We believe that tourism is built around involvement, participation, relationship and partnership, and that it is about actively taking hands with local communities, listening to their needs and working side by side to ensure that the environment and indigenous cultures are preserved, while allowing responsible travellers to experience the holiday of a lifetime.
Cape Town Tourism prides itself in a culture of service excellence and we are committed to responsible and fair tourism and business practices. We therefore work with and encourage the involvement of previously disadvantaged individuals, organisations and companies in tourism in a number of ways. We also support the principles of Responsible Tourism and Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa, we are Proudly South African, we are passionate about Cape Town and we encourage our members to adopt these principles in the operations of their businesses as well.
The vision for tourism in the City of Cape Town provides the focus and framework for seven strategic objectives for our work:
To enhance the national and international image and awareness of Cape Town as an outstanding place to live, visit, work, study and invest;
To optimise tourism volumes and yield for the city economy in a totally sustainable and responsible manner;
To establish good levels of tourism business all-year-round;
To optimise the distribution of tourism benefits within the city region and beyond;
To engage actively with the City's tourism businesses to help them become highly competitive, embrace transformation and adopt responsible practices;
To engage Capetonians as proud ambassadors for their city;
- To encourage action by Cape Town Tourisms's partner organisations in the City to develop Cape Town responsibly and ensure a safe, attractive and welcoming environment.
Cape Town Tourism is a source of relevant business information, a vehicle to provide representation to all tourism businesses, large or small, allowing access to promotion and tourism programmes, and importantly, a platform to put visitors in touch with the remarkable experiences offered by members of Cape Town Tourism.
This dynamic partnership allows us to deliver and exceed upon the expectations of visitors, whether local, national or international, whilst showing a real return on investment to stakeholders.
Cape Town Tourism deals with approximately 3-million enquiries per year through its network of well positioned Visitor Information Centres (VICs). The organisation has close to 2 500 members, making it one of the largest and most representative voluntary tourism industry membership associations in the world. Members receive value for their membership fees through innovative visitor and tourism services, business development, local product marketing and local and international destination marketing.
Cape Town Tourism and the City of Cape Town have jointly set the bold target of doubling the economic impact of tourism on the city by 2020, and to do so in a sustainable way that will ensure widespread economic benefit. In the light of the constraints on the global tourism economy, we will have to adopt a new way of doing business.

Hi Don,
framework : extjs 4.1.2a
(also tryed with 4.2.0a)
8 Oct 2012 12:42 AM #4
Still missing framework images with 188.8.131.52
I've still have the same "issue" using the lastest release of Sencha Cmd (190):
Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/form/trigger.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/form/exclamation.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/form/text-bg.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/form/date-trigger.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/form/spinner.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/button/s-arrow.gif Failed to load resource file://localhost/Library/ext/resources/themes/images/default/grid/grid3-hd-btn.gif
For example, here is the code in the app.css (in my development folder, i.e myApp)
even if I use the "http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/guide/command_theme" procedure :
all subfolders of "images" are copied (i.e btn, btn-group...) excepted "form, button" - and others, but here my application use lot of form widgets !!!!!
Another "strange" thing :
There is a missing image :
(column-header-bg.gif and column-header-over-bg.gif)

Yes is clearly that there are some problems here (in theming and SCmd .190 build), less or more had the same, added splitbutton to manifest but the "s-arrow" image still was missing. Solved by
1. modifying utils.rb:
def theme_image(theme, path, without_url = false, relative = false) path = path.value theme = theme.value without_url = (without_url.class == FalseClass) ? without_url : without_url.value relative_path = "../../images/" # was: relative_path = "../images/" if relative if relative.class == Sass::Script::String relative_path = relative.value relative = true elsif relative.class == FalseClass || relative.class == TrueClass relative = relative else relative = relative.value end else relative = false end if relative image_path = File.join(relative_path, theme, path) else # was: images_path = File.join($ext_path, 'resources', 'themes', 'images', theme) images_path = File.join(relative_path, theme) #File.join($ext_path, 'resources', 'themes', 'images', theme) image_path = File.join(images_path, path) end

South African music – redefining traditional genres
Christine Marot
Although KwaZulu-Natal-based, Christine Marot never passes up an opportunity to head south and sample the many delights of the Mother City.
Despite having visited many of the world's continents, she believes there's no place like home, and enjoys promoting Cape Town's mix of cultural, historical, natural and adventure tourism opportunities.
She believes current tourism trends reflect a greater reliance on bloggers' first-hand experiences, which more often than not contain nuggets of useful information.
With a love of the outdoors, Christine is happiest visiting the penguins at Boulders Beach, catching waves at Kommetjie, hiking up Table Mountain or sipping a chardonnay under massive oak trees in the winelands.

The music of South Africa is as diverse as the colours of her rainbow nation. From hip-hop to hard rock and electro-jazz to Afro-fusion, traditional genres have been melded to create unique sounds that reflect the influence of her multi-cultural peoples.
As the saying goes "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," so what better way to embrace all that is South African than by listening to the amazing talent of the country's musicians?
Tune in to local, or national, radio stations for a taste of what's on offer, or pop into a local mall and pick out a few CDs to listen to as you drive around the country.
Freshlyground is an Afro-fusion and urban dance group comprising seven talented musicians from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The band will enjoy a high profile during the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ thanks to a recent collaboration with international pop star, Shakira, on Waka Waka, the official World Cup anthem. The band's second album, Nomvula, went multi-platinum in South Africa and their broad appeal won them an MTV Europe Award in 2006 for Best African Act.
Two young men from Cape Town defied traditional dance music genres by creating their own unique electro-jazz and deep house jazz fusion under the banner Goldfish. Dubbed "a breath of fresh air", the duo's two-year foray into the electronic music genre has earned them praise from a wide range of fellow musos, including Dr Dre, James Blunt and Simon le Bon. Their debut album Caught in the Loop was released in 2005 to rave reviews.
Welcomed by music lovers in the USA after breaking into the South African music market, the four-member pop rock/alternative band, The Parlotones, has sold more than 200 000 copies of their 2007 release, A World Next Door to Yours. Their track Overexposed garnered awards locally and in the US, including two awards in the International Song Contest.
Malaika is a proudly South African trio that won immediate favour with the country's Afro-pop lovers just a few years back. Their music, combined with energetic stage performances, has seen Malaika net substantial sales, top the charts and earn airtime on many of the country's radio stations. Look out for their own-name album Malaika and listen out for their chart-topping single Destiny.
Kwaito is an indigenous township pop sound that has held sway over the black youth market for decades. TKZee took kwaito to a new level by fusing it with hip-hop, house and their unique Jozi rap style, to create a niche in the mass market. TKZee's 1996 album Take It Eezy was the first collaborative effort by the three young school friends. By the following year it had put them in the spotlight and was followed by the smash hits Palafala and Shibobo in 1998.
Hip Hop Pantsula's (Double HP) clever collaborative approach with established artists such as NAS, Amerie and South African Danny K set him up for success. Adding snippets of local vernacular –Tswana, Zulu and Sotho – to the mix accorded him a growing fan base. HHP has not restricted his style and incorporates a diverse range of hip-hop sounds, including a mix with South African violinist, In-Cha.
Hard rock buffs Prime Circle comprise a five-piece band that has established and maintained a strong musical presence in South Africa for more than 10 years. Their contrasting mix of hard rock and gentle acoustics with raw vocals has redefined the genre.
A year after they released All or Nothing, the album went platinum, earning Prime Circle gigs and airplay across the country.
Relatively new on the local music scene is the rap-rave outfit Die Antwoord, billed as "the love-child of many diverse cultures: black, white, coloured and alien".
Locnville have aimed their music at the hip-hop/electro-fusion market. Their album Sun in my Pocket sold more than 15 000 copies and is the highest-charting South African debut album ever. Six Second Poison, their follow-up, is another distinctive gravel-voiced groovy offering from the young duo and is also set for success.

ArcGIS 10 SP3 Hello! I have read the other posts in this forum about updating metadata programmatically, and have examined Esri's help topics regarding xslt stylesheets to update metadata, but am hoping that someone has produced a more efficient solution in the last ten months:
I would like to perform something like the following examples:
1) for all layer files which contain the word "road" in their name, add the following list of words to their tags: road, street 2) for all SDE feature classes which do not currently have an Item Description, add the feature class name and tags into the Item Description etc.
My question is: can I do this with python or vba, or must I use xml/xslt stylesheets to do this? Thank you!

$\newcommand{\p}{\mathcal{P}}$Let G be a group, and let $G_n$ denote the wreath product $G^n \rtimes \Sigma_n$.
There seems to be a notion of a PROP $\p$ where the role of the symmetric groups $\Sigma_n$ is instead played by the groups $G_n$. An example would be $G=SO(N)$ and $\p$ the PROP associated to the framed little N-disc operad. Here $\p(1,n)$ has an action of $G_1^{op} \times G_n$ -- the copy of $G_1^{op}$ rotates the entire disc "counterclockwise" (i.e. an element $g \in SO(N)$ acts via $g^{-1}$), and the action of $G_n$ on $\p(1,n)$ is the evident one. The gluing maps are then suitably equivariant under this simultaneous action of $G$ on the input/output legs, so to speak.
Is there a standard name for this kind of PROP/operad? Cf. how one calls an operad where $\Sigma_n$ has been replaced by $B_n$ a braided operad. I would also be happy to hear of any paper where this kind of gadget has been defined and/or studied.
Addendum, Jan 23 2013. Sorry if it is poor form to bump an inactive question only to advertise your own work, but I just ran across this old question. When I had thought some more about this I realized eventually that what I described above is really a special case of the notion of a colored PROP/operad, except the collection of colors do not form a set but a category. In this case there is only one color but its automorphism group is $G$, that is, the collection of colors is exactly the one-object category corresponding to the group $G$.
The notion of a PROP/operad which is colored by a category is defined in my paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.0420 . This is actually somewhat more general than what Salvatore and Wahl define, even when the category in question is a group.

The November 2004 issue of School Reform News features an interview with Lydia Segal, author of Battling Corruption in America's Public Schools, recently released by Northeast University Press and forthcoming in paperback from Harvard University Press. Segal contends fraud, waste, and mismanagement in public schools is due largely to centralization and over-regulation; she urges radical decentralization: "turn every single school in the district into a charter school and the central office into a support center for the charter schools."
On page 1:
- former SRN contributing editor Pamela Riley reports on her experience as U.S. advisor to Iraq's Ministry of Education;
- a new study by Caroline Hoxby documents the superior performance of charter school students compared to their public school counterparts;
- an analysis by Denis Doyle and his colleagues of 2000 Census data shows public school teachers in urban areas are far more likely than city residents in general to send their children to private schools; and
- the American Legislative Exchange Council's new Report Card on American Education offers more than 50 tables and 25 figures that display more than 100 measures of educational resources and achievement ... all pointing to the disappointing conclusion that the U.S. continues to increase spending on education without a corresponding improvement in student performance.
Also in this issue: No Child Left Behind, voucher program updates from DC and Florida, special education reform, teacher certification and student achievement, The Friedman Report, school safety, school choice in Minnesota, and more.

WEIRTON - Two members of the board of directors of the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle were recognized at the organization's June meeting, one for work that has been done and the other for work that is just getting under way.
Ed Bowman, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's representative to the Northern Panhandle and BDC board member, received a commemorative sledgehammer from the demolition ceremony of the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery. Bowman, a former state senator, was given the hammer for his efforts in keeping the governor involved in the TS&T project.
That involvement included a $200,000 loan to move the project forward and technical assistance from the West Virginia Economic Development Authority and Department of Environmental Protection.
"Sen. Bowman has been instrumental in communicating to Gov. Tomblin the challenges the community has faced in dealing with the former TS&T Pottery factory," said Bill D'Alesio, chairman of the BDC board of directors. "This project has been a team effort and we would not be two months away from having a cleared site if the governor was not on our team."
Bowman also made a presentation to Pat Ford, the BDC's executive director, who has been appointed by Tomblin to serve on the West Virginia Public Port Authority board through June 30, 2014. Ford will attend the port authority's monthly meetings, where work is done to develop the potential of intermodalism by combining highway, rail, and water transportation infrastructure to maximize overall economic advantages to business, industry and the citizens of West Virginia.
"This appointment by Gov. Tomblin has to be one of the proudest moments of my professional career," Ford said. "Our efforts to retain and recruit industry in the Northern Panhandle have centered on our ability to market our transportation-related assets to industries. To have a seat on the state's port authority board will be essential in developing, and marketing, our assets further, as well as bring the necessary resources to further our efforts to grow our transportation infrastructure and, ultimately, jobs in the Northern Panhandle."
In other business, the BDC board:
