The easiest way to get the text out is to just copy it over to LibreOffice. With a little editing, my copy looks very similar.

NOTE: OCR is not 100% accurate, you may have to correct errors, and the more formatting your document has, the harder it will be.
You can't edit text in a JPG, but you remove the text and add new text.
For images, try gimp (open source alternative to Photoshop). Open the image with gimp, then use the eraser tool to erase the old text. Then use the text tool to add new text.
Or, use inkscape, which is a vector graphics program (similar to Adobe Illustrator). Create a new SVG file and paste in your JPG. Then, cover up the old text with a new text box.
I would start with gimp but for your image maybe inkscape works better. You can install either code from the software center, or use these lines in a terminal
We can also edit text on top of an image with Libre Office from where we can also easily export this files as PDF.
You cannot directly edit text in an image file. You can edit the image file using a program such as

How can instantaneously extract text from a screen area using OCR tools?
Its the fastest way to convert picture to text for me and it works almost very good.
So my suggestion is, you scan the document and open the picture. At the same time, you open an editor and copy the parts you need to the editor. With easystroke you make a gesture for the script, it is really easy and fast.

With a new corporate headquarters in the works, its first acquisition and a CEO who was named Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young, Mercury is flying high this year.
Now the company has another recognition to add to its list. On Wednesday, Mercury was named Technology Company of the Year by the Colorado Technology Association.
More than 50 companies, including Comcast Colorado and GoDaddy.com, were nominated for the award.
The award is given to a company that has set itself apart �as a leader in its market segment and demonstrates this through the creation of innovative products, profitability and strong commitment to the community,� according to the award description.
The Colorado Technology Association excels at building communities around the technology industry in Colorado, Mercury CEO Matt Taylor said. Mercury is a Durango-based payment-processing company.
The fact that Mercury won the award, �celebrates this idea that innovation can happen off the grid,� Taylor said. �A company can exist in a place like Durango and compete with companies in more established markets with potentially easier resources.�
The various recognitions Mercury has received provide a boost to the whole region, said Roger Zalneraitis, executive director of the La Plata County Economic Development Alliance.
�Anytime we have companies that win awards, it is beneficial for us as a region from an economic-development perspective. We can point to them as success stories,� Zalneraitis said. �We can point to (awards like Technology Company of the Year) and say we�re not just out here drilling for gas.�
The Economic Alliance points to Mercury when it talks to businesses looking to locate here, he said.
Mercury demonstrates �you can do it, too, and we have the resources to grow these types of companies out here,� Zalneraitis said.

Dog Aggressive? In their genes?
Just Passing this on from my neighbor in LB. I know if a dog is "fixed" they are less likely to display extroverted behavior. But always educate yourselves (and be as mindful as you can to warrant any situations that could occur) as any Pet Responsible Parent should do.
"The article below was written by my good friend Tia Maria Torres (Founder, Villalobos Rescue Center and Animal Planets "Pitbulls and Parolees")
Even though this article focuses on Pit Bulls, it pretty much applies to any breed of dog that has exhibited the behavioral issues described below. You know, the behaviors that most people write off as "He/She always does that" or "He/She is just playing", etc. Believe me, I see this all the time
Bottom line, people will bring Pit Bulls to a dog park; therefore, just wanted to give you some food for thought.
"This is probably the biggest argument among the Pit Bull forums…..is it the way they're raised or…..is it "in their genes?" So for "argument's sake"…let's get ready to rumble! To answer this question you need to go back in time to what makes up the Pit Bull type dog. The first thing that comes to my mind is "terrier". Helloooo??? Can we say "feisty, scrappy and always on the go???" So common sense tells us that because of the "terrier" in the American Pit Bull Terrier or the American Staffordshire Terrier…..this is a dog that is going to keep us on our toes. Think of the Jack Russell Terrier…..yes that little dog that just keeps on going and going and going This is a breed that was bred for chasing down unwanted rodents. Thus the term "animal aggression" comes into play. And let's face it, Jack Russells are not only one of the smartest dogs ever, but they have the energy level of a tornado! They are like this because it's "genetic". Not all are like this but let's face it…most are. This is the life of a terrier.
Then you have your Labradors who love water. Again, not all but most. Then there are the Border Collies and Australian Shepherds who on a split second impulse will "chase" down anything that moves and herd it into whatever corner of the yard seems best. I know this by experience because my parents had Welsh Corgis and as kids we were constantly getting nipped in the ass and on the back of our legs. Why? It's called "genetics!" My parents never taught our Corgis to do this. Even as puppies they were constantly chasing our horses.
Okay so back to our breed. If I had a dime…Hell…a penny, for everyone that emailed or called and said, "I don't know what happened. My Pit Bull has been great with other dogs and then ALL OF A SUDDEN he attacked my neighbor's dog or went after a dog at the dog park" and of course my knee jerk response is always…."ah….what's the question?" It's like saying…"I don't know what's wrong with my Lab….he won't stay out of the swimming pool".
Now here's where the argument begins. There are those of us that have been around these dogs for not only years but have dealt with them in large amounts whether it be working at a shelter, or a vet's or a groomer, trainer, whatever. We sit back and say…."well……ah…..well….that's what Pit Bulls do sometimes." But then you have the group of owners who believe…….oh geez…..I'm preparing my flame retardant suit……the group that says….:"it's all in how you raise them." Okay….kinda.
Here's the dealio. Some of you have Pits that will NEVER EVER display dog aggression. Great! Congratulations! And yes, some of that should be credited to you as an owner for not putting your dog in a situation that warrants him/her to have to fight back. But more than likely you just got lucky and your Pit just has a kick back temperament combined with a lifestyle that keeps him out of harm's way and trust me…I wish all Pit Bulls could live like that.
But truthfully, in dealing with hundreds to thousands in my rescue career, most Pit Bulls that have come thru here, display some form of dog aggression. Maybe not full blown, "I want to kill another dog" but even so much as giving each other the "stink eye" has caused a ruckus. I'm not saying that your dogs are going to "snap" (geez I hate that word) and all of a sudden go on a doggie killing spree. But what I am saying is that most Pit Bulls (yeah yeah, go ahead and cuss me out) have that "genetic make up" of dog aggression. And though they may never display it, to deny it exists, is only potentially putting your dog in a situation that may cause him/her to fail. All I'm saying is just be aware that it may surface if pushed too hard (example: allowing a bunch of ignorant dog owners at the dog park to have their dogs run up on your Pit Bull) and you just need to be that "defensive driver" for your Pit Bull's sake.
When out in public, I never ever let some stranger come up to me with their dog and do the…."oh can my dog meet your dog?" Ah….that would be a big fat "NO". Don't let your Pit run off leash out in public. You never know what idiot may be around the corner. And I know this one is gonna piss some people off but I don't recommend dog parks. Good way to not only set your dog up for failure but the "what if" a dog fight happens. You've now put your Pit on the defensive and there is a good chance that he/she may now want to go after every dog he encounters. I've had dogs like this come to my training class after a bad dog park encounter and it takes some time to "unring that bell". Instead maybe find some people you trust and who's dogs you know and create play dates.
So no one says you have to take my words to heart but at least I can tell you these words come from 18 years and thousands of Pit Bulls later. I've learned from my mistakes and I would rather be safe than sorry. Like I said, if your Pit is dog friendly….HOORAY!! I'm jealous. But still just "be aware" and at least practice "safe Pit"
If you ever had a pit that was so sweet and never aggressive-we'd like to have you comment.

STEUBENVILLE — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is joining attorneys for the two defendants in the Steubenville rape case and also the alleged victim's attorney in calling for the case to be closed......
@automan- You guys really love throwing the Holocaust around, don't you. Let's get this straight right now: My comments here are not based on rumor, but fact. Hanlin recused herself two weeks too late not to avoid a very serious appearance of ethical impropriety (as proven by information contained in the probable cause transcript) and she acted with total disregard for "justice" when she took it upon herself to stand in as a character witness for a felon in Morgantown WV just a month or so prior. IMO she deserves every ounce of scrutiny that she gets and since Mr. Bruzzese has been openly supporting her from day one and continues to do so, he also deserves the public scrutiny....maybe even more so. These are public figures. My comments here are not harming the victim in this case or the defendants so quit deflecting just because you are annoyed that I am drawing attention to an obvious issue with "business as usual" that you would rather ignore.

you people sicken me. You say you want justice yet assail people in public that have never been on trial. Is'nt that what Hitler did? Let me remind all of you of something. 85 percent of what you have heard so far is false. 100 percent of what happened needs to be decided in a court of law, according to the Bill of Rights. The only way we will KNOW what happened is to let the courts do their job. The speculation you speak of is rumor and misrepresented internet babble. Wait for the facts, please, you are causing more harm than good.

@WeirSteuben- That's funny. I was thinking that if he ever tried to explain the discrepency, that he would just deny ever posting it. You know....."Someone else wrote that and used my name". LOL I That said, how would he explain the letter that he posted months ago on the Prinniefied website in attempt to get everyone to quit talking about Hanlin? (He posted that identical letter on his own FB page)! In that one, he defended her for not immediately recusing herself stating that valuable evidence would have disappeared while waiting for the AGs to step in. (I'm paraphrasing) Hello!? Why would "evidence" disappear if she recused herself? Last time I checked it was the responsibility of law enforcement to collect evidence! Why in the*****was she even involved in this process?! It is truly unreal to me that he defends such nonsense.

@AlexHamilton - Mr. Bruzzese is trying confuse people with his facts. He would argue that technically Keenan was in Steubenville when the rape happened in Wintersville, so he was 'out of town'. Keep up with your smokescreen, we can see right through it!

Again I ask; are there other charges coming and why is that information being withheld?

I am in agreement that closed may be the best thing. regardless of anything going on in the court, it really wouldnt matter if they were there as far as evidence, court protocols, and any statements or witnesses subpoena'd. Regardless, we will know the outcome good or bad on the eve of the 15th of Feb at the latest. I can bet every news crew in the valley will be at the court doorsteps. ALLOW THE VICTIM TO HAVE SOME PRIVACY-she doesnt need to be spread all around again.As far as I am concerned she needs to remain a "Jane Doe" for the family's sake

They're trying to protect the victim, not the defendants. If that's what she and her parents want, what's the problem? Isn't the point of all this justice for her supposedly? I think people are forgetting that and just********for blood. Her wishes should be honored.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is not surprising but disappointing none the less. I only hope that the Associated Press responds with a legal arguments that the Judge can't possibly overlook. That aside, I am still waiting for Mr. Bruzzese' response to my question in reponse to his letter to the Editor. Not to worry though. The transcript from the probable cause hearing has set the record straight as to who was in town the night of the alleged rape and who was at the parties. Looks like a local attorney has been spreading lies to Kent State via the internet! You are so busted.

Not permitting media will only fuel the fire of an alledged cover-up.
This case should be wide open. The world is watching.
Is there anyone in the area who does not know the names involved?
I am betting many know all the names of adults in and out of this case; all the boys and girls present; and all pertinent information.
Why close doors again?
Again I ask; are there other charges coming and why is that information being withheld?

Two points are selected randomly on a line of length $L$, so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line[In other words, the two points $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables with a uniform distribution over $(0, L/2)$ and $(L/2, L)$ respectively. Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than $L/3$.
Attempt: We have $f_X(x) = f_Y(y) = 2/L => f(x,y) = 4/L^2 $ The probability I want is $P(Y-X > L/3) = P(Y> L/3 + X)$. So I need to evaluate: $$ \iint_{(x,y): y > L/3 + x} f(x,y)\,dy\,dx.$$ I said the limits on $y$ were from $L/3 + x$ to $L$ and $x$ from $0$ to $L/2$, so I evaluate $$\int_0^{L/2} \int_{L/3 +x}^{L} \frac{4}{L^2}\,dy\,dx$$ which gives $5/6$, but that is incorrect. Where did I go wrong?

When we were over visiting the Tablet PC team, we noticed that Michael Tsang used the command line to do nearly everything. Seemed like a throwback to the DOS days, and thought it'd make an interesting thread here on Channel9.
Who else here lives predominantly in a command-line interface?
Oops, something didn't work.
If the command is typed, it's a throwback to the old days. If I speak the command into a microphone, it's a futuristic new interface.
I'm a command-line guy at heart for most tasks. For some reason, using drag-and drop and the like seems very crude to me, like trying to get my young children ready for bed. I can't just say "Time for bed!", instead I have to say "get undressed", "put your clothes in the hamper", "go to the bathroom", draw the water, "get in the tub", "wash your face", "wash your body", and on and on for a couple dozen small steps. That's what I feel like with most GUI interfaces -- I have to take the computer by the hand and show it yet again how to do a series of sub-tasks to accomplish a larger goal.
With a command-line interface, I can marshal whatever collection of tools I need for the task, and issue a few high-level instructions and the computer will get back to me when it's done. If I have to do this more than a few times, I write a new command to do it (it's not easy at all to script across a collection of GUI-based tools).
Now granted, there are some opeations that I wish I could use a more hands-on approach, but the current mouse-based approach is still far too crude. I use a tablet exclusively both at home and at work (that is, a standard PC with a tablet/stylus pointing device), and that helps quite a bit. But I still can't do natural things like selection via circling, or things like that. Dragging is about as advanced as it gets, and that's pretty durned crude, particularly with a corded brick.

Dude, just wait for MONAD to hit your desktop. The new shell is going to be sweet.
the best thing about the command line is that most new functionality is accessable reliably from the command line before a UI gets written for it. also, you don't have to wait for the display to refresh to start the next thing you want to do. just type the
command, hit enter, type the next one, hit enter, etc. all while the first one is still running. if you want to keep any errors in a error log, just add 2>>errors.log to the end of the command line.
and my personal favorite... environment variable substring replacement. definitely enables some seriously cool capabilities. gui's can only emulate the command line, but never fully duplicate.
and as far as dos goes, i never wrote batch files until cmd.exe. none of my batch files even work on os'es older than 2k. (and even 2k doesnt run most of them without some changes.) cmd.exe is definitely a lot more powerful than dos ever even dreamed of being.
favorite command? latest directory enumeration:
for /F "delims=\ tokens=*" %%I in ('Dir /tc /ad /od /B %_GET_LATEST%') do if %%I GTR !_CUR_TOP! set _CUR_TOP=%%I
followed closely by my show all menu commands subroutine:
for %%I in (%AROOTOPTS::=%) Do echo. &set CMDITERCOUNT=%%I&call :NewGetOptions %%I numopts
it lists the 60 or so commands i handle in my utility cli menu script, by menu. why you ask? the ability to configure the debugger, install windows, log in, install private drivers, set up gflags, etc. and start stress on 20 or so machines, with a single mouse click, from home. yea it took a while to write the script, but i have saved more hours of manual configuration in the last couple years as a result, than there are hours since I was born 24 years ago. so it was worth it, IMHO.

The World Conference on Dialogue continued holding working sessions in Madrid today.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz proposed the conference as part of his efforts to promote interfaith dialogue. Participants at the three-day event include major figures from Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism.
King Abdullah opened the conference yesterday with a call for people of all faiths to embrace reconciliation and reject extremism.
After the opening remarks yesterday, participants held the first working session on the foundations of religious and civilizational dialogue under the chairmanship of Dr. Bawa Jain, Secretary-General of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders.
Today, a second working group discussed the importance of dialogue in human society in a session chaired by Chairman of the Shura Council Dr. Saleh bin Homaid. A third session addressed the common human aspects in dialogue. A fourth session on the evaluation and promotion of dialogue is scheduled for this evening.
The Madrid conference follows a dialogue among Islamic scholars that took place in Makkah, Saudi Arabia in June.

I need to hide some elements of a webpart and only show them to some specific grups of users. How can I do this ? I think it could be done with an If or Switch block, using the name of the grup of users which should see this Webpart controls, but how can I do it? Can anyone give some guidance on how to reach this goal?
Design the ascx carefully, the portion you want to show/hide declare the part as runat="server", example -
and in CreateChildControls() event (or if you think any other event suits you based on your requirement, but i prefer CreateChildControls) get the current user (you can use SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser), by this point you will have one SPUser object of current user, check the group and/or other attribute, you will need spUser.Groups attribute to check for groups current user is member of, now check for required group in SPGroupCollection object (spUser.Groups returns the group collection object), example
you can pretty much construct your own code from the sample i guess
Actually the best option is to use the Security Trimming controls, as in http://fusionovation.com/post/2008/09/18/security-trimmed-controls-in-sharepoint.aspx
As you would immediately realize is they do not support SPGroups, so find here a solution doing exactly this http://www.dhirendrayadav.com/2011/08/extending-sharepoint-security-trimmed.html
I find it a much better option for long term, C:>Marius

I'm looking for Edges/Hindrances to allow a player to play a character who focuses on defending other characters. We don't use miniature combat a lot (thus far they've been fairly small), and I don't have a lot of familiarity with powers and Edges from other SW settings.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There's a number of ways to build a defensive fighter. I'm going to assume you're not using powers/magic (though there are a lot of good defensive powers too).
There's some non-edge stuff to consider first, like attributes:
After setting up your attributes, it's time to start picking edges. I would not recommend most leadership edges, as they mostly only apply to NPCs. If you're limited to core rules, you might ask your GM to house-rule leadership edges to work on PCs.
I've listed a few edges that I think are useful for defensive fighters. Many of these edges have improved versions that aren't listed. This is in no way a conclusive list:
Finally, there's one last ability that's worth mentioning. Absorption from Necessary Evil allows you to absorb attacks against you and increase your Vigor instead of taking damage. If you're allowed to combine settings, the Guardian edge and Absorption power make for a ridiculous combination.
There are a number of approaches that come to mind, but the big caveat with all of them is that it depends on the setting you are working in and what you're GM does and doesn't allow. It is very important to note that Edges from different settings are not intended to be 'plug and play', and they are not guaranteed to be balanced if you start mixing and matching from different settings. As you've not specified this, I'll try to keep my answer as generic as possible.
There are no Edges in the core rules that actively allow you to increase the melee defense of your allies. However, in a couple of the settings there are Edges that allow your allies to take the Parry increase from your shield if you are adjacent to them. There are also a couple that allow you to negate some of your enemies Ganging Up bonuses by standing adjacent.
A big part of your role will be being in the right place at the right time. One approach to this could be mainly staying on Hold and interrupting your opponents once the target of their attacks is clear. This will require high Agility, as successful interruption requires an opposed Agility roll. If you employ this tactic at range then Edges such as Marksman are good (although only available at Seasoned rank), as they give you bonuses to hit as long as you don't move.
Tactical manoeuvreability could also be important, so Edges like Fleet Footed, Extraction and Improved Extraction might be helpful. It would also be useful to guarantee high initiative cards, so Quick and Level Headed (Seasoned only) could both be useful.
By positioning yourself correctly, you can use the First Strike Edge to get one free attack each turn against foes that move adjacent to you. At Heroic rank, Improved First Strike can also be purchased that gives you this attack against all foes that move adjacent.
To make your allies more difficult to hit with ranged attacks, the obvious thing to do is to increase their cover by putting yourself between them and the aggressor. This is usually equivalent to giving them a +1 cover bonus as medium cover.
Common Bond allows you to give your Bennies to allies to help Soak damage and remove Shaken statuses. If you go down this route then Luck and Great Luck are good as they give you extra bennies to play with.
The various Leadership Edges give passive bonuses to subordinate allies within your command radius (typically 5"). e.g. Command improves their chances of recovering from being Shaken, whilst Hold the Line! gives them +1 Toughness. However, you should check with your GM as to what they interpret subordinate to mean. Although the Deluxe version of the rules have softened this requirement considerably, different genres/settings might still require the allies benefiting to roleplay their subordinate position.
Lastly, there is the possibility of acting as an 'early warning system'. High Notice becomes desirable here as do the Alertness and Danger Sense Edges. If you want to protect your allies then nothing beats spotting dangers/ambushes early.
As you have specified that you are playing a fighter, I haven't gone too much into powers. However, should you have access to Arcane Backgrounds and they fit with your character concept then there are numerous Powers you can cast to help your allies, including Deflection, Barrier and Armour.
Guardian, from Slipstream, is the big one. This allows you to take any hits directed at the person you are protecting as long as you stay close to them.
It's probably way too good actually. If you're not using minis, just say your character is next to the person you're defending.

But I remember all too well what it is like to answer the call to duty. I remember the pain in my heart every time I had to part with my children knowing that I was going to miss irretrievable moments in their growing lives. I recall all too vividly the uncertainty and the foreboding that precedes a venture into treacherous waters.
I also remember that I was proud to be doing it. I felt privileged to be given the honor as well as the responsibility of defending my nation—the greatest nation in the history of the world.
And one more thing I remember is that I never felt that my nation was asking too much of me.
Asking Too Much of Too Few?
But today, I cannot help but wonder if we are not asking too much of those who have assumed the watch in my stead. I see young Marines going off to Iraq for their third tours and wonder how that compares to my one year in Vietnam. I say farewell to my Naval War College students who must forego their education to become "individual augmentees" and wonder who will one day assume the leadership roles for which they were preparing. I see families left behind to endure even more separation and wonder how much we can reasonably expect from these young people, how long can we count on them to continue to serve, continue to sacrifice.
I am in absolute awe of these patriots who answer the call to duty again and again. I understand why they do it, but I do not honestly know how they do it.
The problem is not that we are asking for sacrifice. There is nothing new in that. It is that we are asking for so much sacrifice from a select few—the few who have volunteered—when we ask so little of our other citizens.
I know that I might as well be asking for NFL players to be humble or for corporate CEOs to work for reasonable salaries, but I cannot help but wonder if we should not at least be talking about alternatives, including universal public service. This idea from the past—for all of its problems and its ramifications—may be the only answer to vexing questions no one seems to be able to answer.
The problems are that conscription is not a vote getter; it does not put money in anyone's pocket; it raises complicated gender questions; it asks the average American to step outside their comfort zone and do more than they have become complacently used to doing.
Perhaps this idea is, like me, a relic of the past, a concept that belongs in the dustbin of history. I cannot deny that having served in a military supported by a draft—where so many of my comrades wanted so much to be elsewhere—and having served my final years in an all-volunteer force, I much preferred the latter. There may be reasons why universal service is a bad idea, why it can no longer work. I have little doubt that a 21st-century conscription should be significantly different from the one we left behind in the 1970s.
But there is a calculus here that can no longer be denied: we seem to have found most of the viable volunteers we are going to find. Pay raises and even patriotism have been tapped out. There are ominous rumblings about lowered recruiting standards and increased maximum ages. There are warnings inherent in reports that recruiters feel compelled to resort to desperate measures and are bringing in people who otherwise would not be chosen.
I am particularly troubled to hear tales of young people considering leaving the service or asking for back-to-back sea tours because they know that, even though they will deploy again, it will be scheduled with more certainty and of a lesser duration than if they go ashore and leave themselves open for individual augmentation, where they are likely to be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan on very short notice to do things for which they are barely trained. Make no mistake, these young people are not avoiding these assignments out of fear—they are as ready as any generation to face danger—but it is the quality of life issues threatening their families' well being that makes them seek alternatives. Remember, these are not shirkers; these are the people who have volunteered, while their fellow countrymen have shopped at the mall; they have served, often under arduous circumstances, away from their loved ones, while the rest of us go about our normal lives; and they will gladly serve again if we do not use them up like disposable batteries.
The Hour of Maximum Danger
Too many of our citizens fail to recognize what I perceive as an hour of maximum danger. Too few of our citizens are as committed to the cause of continued freedom as our enemies are committed to ending it. So we are forced to turn to those finite numbers of volunteers and ask them to shoulder more and more of the burden, knowing that reinforcements are not forthcoming. We ask them—those who have stepped forward—to preserve a world for the rest who hold back.
I, for one, am embarrassed. I am ashamed to look this minority in the eye and ask them to do more while the rest of the nation sits by idly.
And much more is at stake than the decimation of our armed forces. I am appalled that the only answers to vital questions seem to be "more of the same" or "cut and run." I am also ashamed to watch the evening news and see yet another tyrant thumbing his nose at the world's only "superpower," knowing that we are virtually powerless to respond because all of our volunteers are too busy. By these actions, we have severely limited our options and have given up the most powerful anti-war weapon of all-deterrence. We have emboldened our adversaries to do what they please with little fear of consequence, and in so doing we may well have permanantly crippled our ability to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Forgive these rants of an old fossil if that is all they are. But just in case dementia has not replaced reason—on the off-chance that I am right that we are on a course to disaster, to waking up one day and finding that all those wonderful volunteers have been used up, to realizing that we are incapable of deterring and powerless to respond—let us look for alternatives. Let us put politics and selfishness aside and at least openly discuss the idea of asking our citizens to do more, to ask Americans to once again ask themselves, "What can I do for my country?"

It seems that I have no ability to be productive. Outside of the occasional week where feeling accountable to somebody else has kept me on task, I have never had the self discipline to accomplish anything significant. Even after those weeks, the accountability did not go away, just the work ethic.
Every technique I find to improve self discipline requires some discipline to use the technique, which I never seem to have.
I have an uncanny ability to not work, and just end up reading news, or cooking dinner, or finding something else to do.
The reason that I am posting this, is that I confront the idea of working in my head, and instead of distracting myself from the idea, I held myself to the idea of not working. In addition to my aversion, my legs began to tingle and feel uncomfortable, and I felt an uncomfortable stress in my whole body. That seems problematic...
How can I build the self discipline to be productive, given that I don't even have enough discipline to practice most self discipline development exercises.

Listen to Richard Young discuss his conclusions after decades of investigative work on the formation of the Grand Canyon.
GENESEO, N.Y. -- A State University of New York at Geneseo geology professor who has spent most of his career investigating how the Grand Canyon was formed will be among geologists featured in the Season 2 premiere of the History Channel's "How The Earth Was Made" series. The episode will focus on Grand Canyon and airs Nov. 29 at 11 p.m.; and Nov. 30 at 3 a.m.
Richard Young, distinguished service professor of geological sciences who has been a Geneseo faculty member for 43 years, spent several days with the documentary crew explaining how he got involved with Grand Canyon research in 1962 and the conclusions he has reached on the age of the canyon (about five million years). He also has spent time examining how river systems in the area mysteriously changed flow directions to form the Colorado River and the canyon.
"The crew was interested in how I reached my conclusions and the great amount of mapping work I had done," said Young. "The equipment we have now has given us incredible insights into the formation of this magnificent geological structure. It's only been since the 70s that we have been able to reach definitive conclusions about the canyon and the evidence continues to tell us an amazing story."
Geneseo geology majors have worked with Young as research assistants on his Grand Canyon excursions. The Department of Geological Sciences also operates a field experience program every other year in which students conduct summer research at sites across the world, from Arizona to Hawaii to New Zealand.
Young's participation in the History Channel program isnot his first time he has discussed his work on national television. He was featured in National Geographic's"Naked Science" series on PBS last February.

Social media has changed the whole customer-vendor relationship. If our customers are not happy they have 100's of ways to tell a lot of people. Vendors can run but they can't hide.
Howard Dresner gets it. He tapped into the social media world to gather a sampling of over 450 business intelligence users to learn their real-world experiences with their vendors. He gathered their feedback in the new market study by Dresner Advisory Services, The Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study™. Here are a few of the highlights:
- Pentaho, in the Emerging Vendor category, was ranked against six other vendors and received the top ranking in value for the price paid and quality of consulting services.
- Pentaho is the clear leader in OSBI ranking above other OSBI vendors in every category.
- Pentaho received the second highest marks overall among BI vendors.
- 100 percent of responding customers recommended Pentaho.
Red Hat's slogan comes to mind in this situation: "Truth Happens." With the growth of social media you cannot hide if you have bad support or a crappy product – social media puts the power back into the users hands.
You can't just say you are the best or largest – you have to be it. It is easy to throw around meaningless statistics about having "over 100,000 community members", when the 100,000 merely visited a website or forge and registered to get community editions or view a forum. What is worse is when over 75% of these "community members" only visited that site one time and never returned. Making these grossly misleading claims is bad for commercial open source in general and horrible for the specific vendors.
Beyond the Wisdom of Crowds report, I wanted to point out a few other independent surveys out there to see the truth.

Hey all!
I have a Canon 400D with a Sigma 8mm fisheye lens, and I've been monkeying around with PTGui. I'm thinking about getting a nodal ninja, and would like some recommendations for which model would be right for me. I'm a panorama novice, and I'm just looking to learn as much as I can. I hope to at least publish my panoramas on the tubes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Oh, one more thing. I'm mostly interested in doing spherical panos.

Considering an 8-9 hours a day in a job, you come home, you are tired, wanna listen to music, don't want to study anything new in CS, weekend comes, you never want to touch anything related to work, like studying new c++11, algorithms books,..etc. When do you guys study or how do you manage to study new things ?
Just because you don't want to learn about CS after work/on the weekend, doesn't mean nobody else does. It's fun!
You can try to make it fun for yourself. Examples:
Or you can force yourself to study. Examples:
Well, you're gonna have to make you're self want to learn if you want to learn. If you're too tired, then maybe you need to get fitter - work out, eat better, get adequate sleep and meditate if you feel mentally tired.
To get interested, have personal projects, or contribute to open source projects. Instead of just learning about new thing, learn how to apply them. Either improve an old piece of code with your new knowledge, or start something from scratch. Obviously you'll have to take out time to do all this - either in the weekend, or during the week. If you don't want to lose your weekends, and are too tired after work, you could try waking up an hour or two early to work on your projects. Got to bed early, and wake up early. Check out this other post about waking up early to code.
You could also take up a MOOC, like @Jeanne said in her answer. Try taking a course at either Udacity, Coursera or edX.
And finally, learning new things doesn't have to be strenuous. You could pick up a book and read 40-50 pages a day and finish most books in a week or two.
well in the 21st century i don't think so any professional can manage to go on in this manner for long. you really have to find the way out of this.
1) reading about programming day in and day out become really boring sometimes without applying it or without any long term goals. so what i recommend that you should take a project you really are passionate about and start working on it. Use the language or any technology you want to learn. work on it by applying 'don't break the chain rule' for atleast 30 minutes per day(i think that 30 minutes should be a piece of cake for you even if you are tired , and by the way it's only 30 minutes). the chances are that your 30 minutes will become 1 hour or more. in this way you can go on trying not to break the chain. after a month seeing something being built in increments will give you more and more motivation to work on it.
2) Also watching a quick video on youtube or anywhere on your favourite technology and get a pointer or so which you can apply can also be a good start. you can also do this when you are tired. i have been doing this for the long time and it really works for me.
3) there are 100s of site where you can submit a techology articles. the articles you are writing will involve some reasearch thus addressing your problem.
4) why not set up a good decent blog. it will be a good enough goal for the long time to come. you just need to be somewhat dicsiplined about it.
5) why not set three days of the week for fun after work and three days for learning. this will be good thing as it will automatically will set your mode and your mood accordingly after work. you can set sunday morning hours for some work and night for fun.
6) also please please exercise as @elssar pointed out. also sleeping and waking up on the same time will really make you more efficient.
Enthusiasm is key - if you don't want to study, look at why. Do you need to study it to get to a position you will enjoy, then focus your motivation on that future point.
If it is for your job, build in time. Study over lunch, or on coffee breaks, or even over dinner (if you are single - I wouldn't recommend this if you are married as it is a tad unsociable)
If you are finding 8-9 hour days a challenge, try to develop your activity cycle - I wouldn't recommend going as high as this, but I worked 100 hour weeks for 4 months in addition to raising 3 kids and playing in a rock band (with the aid of some caffeine admittedly). It became a bit wearing eventually, but because I was very focused on what I wanted out of that role, that end goal gave me my enthusiasm.
Finally, if you really aren't enjoying it - think long and hard; are you in the right job?? Sometimes a change works. I have had colleagues give up high powered city jobs to become divers, teachers, even landscape gardeners.

Are all of the following sentences OK?
I have two children with my ex-husband.
I have two children from my ex-husband.
I have two children by my ex-husband.
Do they mean the same thing? Is any of the variants to be preferred over the others?
Are all of the following sentences OK?
Do they mean the same thing? Is any of the variants to be preferred over the others?
Purely intuitively, I would say that the third would be most frequently found, that the first requires the past tense (I had two children with my ex-husband) and that the second leaves open the possibility that the speaker is not the children's mother.
Personally I don't think any of them really read quite right. Perhaps a man might say:
...but saying it the other way round seems to imply that the man gave birth to the children.
You'd probably be better to say:
But the more usual way to express this would be:
I think it depends on whether you are trying to indicate a birth relationship or a parenting relationship.
The phrase by my first husband/wife suggests that you and your spouse are the birth parents of the child in question.
The phrase with my first wife/husband, could mean you are both birth parents or, if you adopted the child, that you did so together.
The phrase from my first marriage (as has been suggested by several others) may reflect a birth relationship, but just as easily may mean an adoptive relationship or even a step-parent relationship. Many ex-spouses consider the children who came to their family through a former spouse to continue to be their children, even if they are not the birth parents and never formally adopted.
The phrase from my first wife/husband similarly could be any of the above.
The sentences would each be more proper as follows:
In the first case, because you (the speaker) yourself are no longer with your ex-husband (by definition if not intuition) then you bore two children while you were with him, so past tense. You still "have" those children in terms of their being alive and you being their mother, but the meaning of "to have" changes slightly to refer to the act of making and giving birth to them.
In the second case, while the way you said it is technically correct (your ex-husband "gave" you those children in some sense, so they're "from" him), it's much more common to hear "from" in terms of a relationship, such as the marriage between you and your ex.
The third case is correct as you said it. It may sound odd but it's perfectly fine.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

I'm new to the forum but not to Nodal Ninja having previously owned an SPH-1 and now a NN3 but mostly using the NN5L.
I use my Nikon D300 WiTH MB-D10 attached. I have a Really Right Stuff BMBD10 QR plate permanently attached to the D300/MB-D10. I also have the NN Arca Style QR adapter permanently mounted to the NN5 Camera mounting plate. This allows me to quickly attach and remove the camera plus easily adjust the upper rail setting to suit my various lenses. In order to use this setup requires a bit more travel along the lower rail than is available without modification. To do this you need to 'mod' the lower rail of the NN5 buy filing down just the 'ridge' at the end of the lower rail. Doing this will allow you an additional 6mm (approximately) of travel along the lower rail. Basically the vertical arm is allowed to move as far along the lower rail as it's mounting bolt will allow. This setting (~LR_122) works perfectly with the D300/MD-D10/RRS BMBD10/NNQR/NNCP combo.
I use the following Upper Rail settings:
Sigma 8mm f/3.5 70
Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm 89
@ 14mm 91
@ 20mm 95
Nikon 17-55/2.8 @ 17mm 122
@ 24mm 110
@ 35mm 104
@ 55mm 100
Nikon 17-35/2.8 @ 17mm 110.5
@ 24mm 106.5
@ 35mm 106.5
Nikon 28-70/2.8 @ 28mm 122
@ 35mm 115
@ 50mm 100
@ 70mm 101
Hope some will find this useful.
My QTVRs can be seen here: http://www.rogerhein.com/galleries/inMotion/index.html
P.S. Hey Nick, sure would be nice if there was a slightly longer lower rail available

5 Medical Breakthroughs That Make Life Shockingly Easy
#2. A Pill That Stops You from Buying Stupid Shit on Impulse
Do you stare at your credit card bill at the end of the month and wonder when you bought all of that useless shit? Are brown boxes decorated with the curved Amazon.com arrow showing up at your door on a daily basis? There's a name for that condition: oniomania, otherwise known as compulsive shopping.
"I definitely won't regret this later."
And as lame as it sounds, it can be just as serious as any other behavioral disorder. It can lead to ruined credit histories, failed marriages, and theft. But what is a sufferer supposed to do about it, you ask? This isn't like some chemical addiction where it sort of makes sense that a drug could curb the impulse. Are you honestly going to take a pill that magically suppresses the urge to shop?
Well, yeah. Have you even been paying attention to this article at all?
"This will give you liquid shits if you so much as even look at a Macy's."
Scientists at the University of Minnesota gave a drug called memantine to people ages 19 to 59 who suffer from shopaholism. Before the trial began, these people spent up to 61 percent of their annual salary on impulse buys -- these were middle-class folks who devoted as much as 38 hours a week looking for bargains in stores. And while a TLC reality show star might call that "Wednesday," your average American's bank account calls it "Oh dear God, let the torture end." After taking the pill for eight weeks, sufferers engaged in less impulse buying and had "fewer impulsive urges, thoughts, and behavior." Overall, the pill reduced the symptoms of the disorder by freaking half.
The whole thing worked so well, it even made the TV news:
So, how does that possibly work? The drug affects glutamate, a chemical in the brain that is believed to contribute to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Many health professionals think that compulsive shopping is a close cousin of OCD, so treating someone's urge to lock and unlock their door 30 times whenever they leave the house is very similar to treating their overwhelming urge to buy out the underwear bin at Walmart.
Well, shit, if they have a pill that can cure our stupid urges, what else can they cure? How about ...
#1. A Drug That Cures Your Racism
From crazy dictators blaming recessions on the different-colored scapegoat of the day to your asshole uncle constantly screaming about the world being overrun with jive turkeys, racism is an unfortunate and unavoidable part of life. And what's worse, no matter how many Will Smith movies we watch, there might be a certain part of every one of us that unconsciously fears some different color or creed -- unless you take a pill for it. One that's already available.
"And you're sure this will stop my husband from shooting the TV every time The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air comes on?"
Well, OK, so we might not yet be at the point where you can walk up to a doctor and ask him to hook you up with some pills for your grandpa's inexplicable hatred of Scandinavians. But hey, it's not like science isn't trying -- and succeeding. Recently, some researchers at Oxford University found that they could combat racism using an anxiety drug that's already out: propranolol.
In an experiment, the researchers gave either propranolol or a placebo to a bunch of white people, the most stereotypically racist bunch the researchers could think of (which, in a sense, would make the scientists themselves doubly racist). The participants filled out surveys rating their attitudes toward black people using a scale from 0 to 100, 0 meaning that they wanted to personally push a button that would nuke Atlanta, 100 meaning that they'd like to make sweet love to a Nubian deity and populate the world with their ethnically ambiguous love children. They then repeated the surveys with their feelings toward homosexuals, Muslims, Christians, and drug addicts, which are apparently races now.
"I'll have you know that we are a proud, noble, balls-tripping people!"
But wait! you might say. People aren't always honest in these types of surveys -- even to themselves. Some people might sincerely believe that they're colorblind and progressive, but might harbor prejudices buried so deep in their subconscious, they'd need a Ouija board to find them. That's why the scientists then gave them a computerized test that involved sorting faces of different ethnic origins along with words with positive and negative connotations. This test assessed the participants' "implicit racism," the racism that you might harbor but be consciously unaware of.
And guess what? The people who were given the propranolol scored significantly lower on tests of implicit racism. That's right -- the drug actually led to people becoming less racist at a subconscious level. Why did the drug work so well? The Brits believe the reason is that propranolol affects the part of the brain involved in fear and emotional responses. Essentially, the drug calms the symptoms of anxiety, and since racism is thought to be fundamentally founded on fear, calming down one's automatic fear response should also calm down the desire to carpet bomb every country that ends in "stan."
Sadly, for Dale, some aspects of his skinhead life would always remain.
For now, battling racism is strictly an off-label use for propranolol due to the ethical implications of improving people's morals via lozenge. But it's nice to know it's there should you ever need to spike the punch at your local Klan rally.

How Is Syphilis Diagnosed?
Syphilis can be easily diagnosed with a quick and inexpensive blood test given at your doctor's office or at a public health clinic.
How Is Syphilis Treated?
If you've been infected with syphilis for less than a year, a single dose of penicillin is usually enough to destroy the infection. For those allergic to penicillin, tetracycline, doxycycline or another antibiotic can be given instead. If you are in a later stage of disease, more doses will be needed.
People who are being treated for syphilis must abstain from sexual contact until the infection is completely gone. Sexual partners of people with syphilis should be tested and, if necessary, treated.
What if Syphilis Is not Treated?
If syphilis is left untreated, it can cause serious and permanent problems such as dementia, blindness, or death.
How Does Syphilis Affect a Pregnant Woman and Her Baby?
Depending on how long a pregnant woman has been infected with syphilis, she has a good chance of having a stillbirth (birth of an infant who has died prior to delivery) or of giving birth to a baby who dies shortly after birth.
If not treated immediately, an infected baby may be born without symptoms but could develop them within a few weeks. These signs and symptoms can be very serious. Untreated babies may become developmentally delayed, have seizures, or die.
How Can I Prevent a Syphilis Infection?
To reduce your risk of syphilis infection:
- Avoid intimate contact with a person you know is infected.
- If you do not know if a sexual partner is infected, use a condom in every sexual encounter.
What Is the Outlook for People With Syphilis?
Syphilis is a curable disease with prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, if treated too late, there may be permanent damage to the heart and brain even after the infection is destroyed.

Roti Rolls with Home made Plum Jam(a perfect gift in a Jar)
The Crisp-tart-sweet plums\prunes is one of the finest fruit of late Spring.More than eating them whole I prefer such tart fruit for making Jam,also makes an inexpensive yet totally pleasing gift in a Jar ,add a pinch of pectin if the Jam isn't thick enough.My recipe is low sugar,for little more sweetness add couple of teaspoons of sugar.
Plum Jam
6 plums or prunes,Pitted and cut in small cubes
1/2 cup unsweetened fruit juice(I used blend of blueberry ,apple and pomegranate juice)
Cook the fruit with the juice in steel pot(preferably)on gentle heat .Partially cover it and simmer until soft , mushy and thick about 40-45 minutes,stir occasionally.Cool and store in sterilized jar for up to a month.
Roti rolls
The Jam is enjoyable as a spread or to bake in a pudding or Jam pockets or slather on Whole grain roti\Paratha\Chapati ,roll up and serve for a quick fix snack or light meal for any time of the day.
I was always fascinated by the purple color,besides being a pleasing eye-catching color,the purple colored foods are rich in heart healthy flavonoids and age-delaying antioxidants.Learn about the Variety of Plums and Health benefits.
Plum Jam is my entry for Food in Colors,started by Sunshinemom,celebrating the favorite colors this month is Tasty Curry leaf

Architect 2.1 Build 678
Today we are releasing a minor update to Sencha Architect 2.1.
On next launch, Architect will ask to auto-update to the new version.
This update fixes a problem that occurred when attempting to package and simulate a Touch app for Android.
Please note that Architect 2.1 only works with Sencha CMD version 3.0, not with the newer versions of CMD available on the Sencha forum.
Also, after going through the Package setup step in Architect, you will need to manually remove the index.html file in the root folder of your project before building or simulating your package (otherwise your packaged or simulated app will just show three blinking dots when run).
The updated Architect installers are here: http://www.sencha.com/products/architect/download
The Sencha Cmd installer is here: http://www.sencha.com/products/sencha-cmd/download
Just in case anyone was worrying, this is not all we have been working on for the last few months. We don't have anything to say publicly yet about the when or what of a more major update, but we have been hard at work.
