text: Notary Bulletin Hotline Tip: Can I Notarize A Copy Of A Passport? By NNA Staff on December 27, 2012 in Hotline Tips Can Notaries certify copies of passports? If so, what are the steps? — A.G., Rialto, CA California Notaries are not allowed to certify copies of any document except powers of attorney and journal records. However, an alternative act is called a "copy certification by document custodian." Copy certification by document custodian may not be acceptable to the individual or agency receiving the copy, so the person requesting the act should verify that it will serve the required purposes. The procedure is as follows: The permanent keeper of the document — the document custodian — certifies the copy, not the Notary. The custodian makes a photocopy of the original document, makes a written statement about that the copy is true, correct and complete, signs that statement before a Notary, is identified by the Notary and takes an oath or affirmation regarding the truthfulness of the statement. The Notary, having witnessed the signing, identified the signer through satisfactory evidence and administered the oath or affirmation, executes a jurat. Copy certification by document custodian is NOT appropriate for vital records such as birth, marriage and death certificates. Since originals of these documents are retained by public agencies. It is not considered best practice to do copy certification by document custodian for any recordable documents. Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. –The Editors Confronted with a tricky notarization? Unsure how to proceed?

I'm trying to make a simple widget that displays a list of posts, and is followed by some metadata from each post.
Here is my code:
$eventdate contains the metadata i need to retrieve.
if (have_posts()) :
echo "
";
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$eventdate = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event-date', true);
echo "
".get_the_title()." - ".$eventdate."
";
echo "
";
I read an old post on the wordpress support forums about custom loops like this, and I'm fairly certain that I'm not calling the $post_id properly, because if I manually insert a post_id it calls the correct data.. but either way I'm unsure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

HARKER HEIGHTS (February 22, 2013)--Three men were taken to Scott & White Hospital in Temple early Friday morning after the pickup truck in which they were riding plunged off a bridge and landed in a creek.
The truck went over the guardrail on the bridge at around 2 a.m. Friday on FM 3219 and fell 25 feet into Nolan Creek.
Firefighters had to descend on ropes to reach the men.
The rescue took just over an hour.
Harker Heights Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Gallenstein said no one appeared to be in critical condition, but one of the men was flown to Scott & White.
The other two were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Authorities are trying to determine what caused the truck to veer off the bridge.

All guests receive a 25% discount on food at the on-site restaurants, plus great discount deals on drinks!

Blur and Oasis were both living and playing around Camden when they raced each other to the top of the charts in the early 90s.

Patches for "Turbo-Charging SVR4 Package Install" are now available
By Gerry Haskins-Oracle on Sep 09, 2009
I am delighted to announce that Casper Dik's "Turbo-Charging SVR4 Package Install" feature enhancement is now available by downloading and installing the following patches:
119254-70 (SPARC) / 119255-70 (x86): Patch utilites patch
121428-13 (SPARC) / 121429-13 (x86): Live Upgrade Zones Support Patch
121430-40 (SPARC) / 121431-41 (x86): Live Upgrade Patch
124630-28 (SPARC) / 124631-29 (x86): System Administration Applications, Network, and Core Libraries Patch
It is important to apply 119254-70 (SPARC) / 119255-70 (x86) and 121428-13 (SPARC) / 121428-13 (x86) if the system is running non-global zones. Otherwise booting newly installed zones will fail until the pkgserv daemon exits, about 5 minutes after zoneadm install finished. Zones which were already installed can be booted as expected.
"Turbo Packaging" is designed to dramatically improve the performance of install, upgrade, Live Upgrade, and zone creation on Solaris 10. It delivers only a small improvement for patching performance. (See my Zones Parallel Patching blog entry for information on dramatic patching performance improvements.)
For background reading on the "Turbo Packaging" feature, please see
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=358081 and http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/173/.
The "Turbo-charging SVR4 Package Install" feature will also be included in the forthcoming Solaris 10 Update 8 release and will be documented in the Release Notes for that release.
Great work, Casper - well done!

In today's society women are simply overloaded with information about pregnancy, from newspapers, magazines, books, and the internet. Photographs of glamorous pregnant celebrities, who look as if they don't have a care in the world, abound in the media. Two sources on the same topic can offer conflicting opinions. Although the internet can be a wonderful source of useful information, it has drawbacks: you don't know who has written an article on a website, it may not have been written by a health professional, and some recommendations may even contradict standard medical advice. This means that constantly scouring the internet and reading everything you find can be confusing and scary.
Articles telling you that you risk the health and well-being of your baby by doing something can make you feel inadequate. Keep telling yourself that women have been having children for centuries without the aid of the internet! If reading lots of information makes you feel empowered and better able to make informed choices, then read away, but if it makes you feel confused then don't. A sensible course might be to pick just one reliable book or information source to read instead.
According to a US study, blueberries topped a list of more than 40 fruits in terms of antioxidant activity. They are also a source of fiber, which is great during pregnancy, especially if-like many women-you suffer from constipation. Blueberries also contain nutrients that can prevent or repair damage to the body's cells. This may strengthen the body's immune system and your ability to fight infections.
You'll need plastic bottles (nipples are included), a sterilizing unit or kit , which often has everything you need, and your preferred formula. Each comes in a range of options, so you need to decide what works best for you.
As you get to know your newborn baby, you may have to change the type of nipple and/or formula, so it's not advisable to buy too many before the birth.

On Page 64, Set Theory, Jech(2006), define the following, by transfinite induction:
- $V_0=\emptyset$,
- $V_{\alpha+1}=P(V_{\alpha})$,
- $V_{\alpha}=\bigcup_{\beta<\alpha}V_\beta$, if $\alpha$ is a limit ordinal.
How can we prove $V_{\alpha}$ is transitive by induction.
I tried what if other set, say $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$, is disignated as $V_0$. It turns out the transitive property fails. So somehow I should incoorperate $V_0=\emptyset$ into the induction. But then I stared at it, I stared at it, I just don't know what should I do.

Te Waipounamu is another name for the South Island, New Zealand. Wai - meaning water. Pounamu- Greenstone. Te Waipounamu- the Greenstone waters. Wahi is place. Te Wahipounamu is the place (where) greenstone (is found). Nga mini :)
Wow! Great photo...
Dramatic Pic, The highlight of this photo is sunlight comes to darker side of trees. This photo remembering us we are in illusion or we are arrived in another unknown world.
This place seems magical in the way the light is captured against the trees. It's almost like I'm waiting for a creature to move out of the brush or from behind a tree. The trees are mesmerizing all by themselves. Great photo!
Wow. It's kind of hypnotizing. Fantastic.
My eyes keep looking.

It is really a good shot
So Smart
Beautiful, mysterious, inspirational. Thank you

I thought about it and could not come up with an example. Why would somebody want to catch an exception and do nothing about it? Can you give an example? Maybe it is just something that should never be done.
Sign up

I do it all the time with things like conversion errors in D:
That said, I think that all catch blocks should have something in them, even if that something is just a comment explaining why you are ignoring the exception.
Edit: I also want to emphasize that, if you're going to do something like this, you should be careful to only catch the specific exception you want to ignore. Doing a plain old
One example where I think is OK to just swallow exception without doing anything, even logging the exception, is inside logging code itself.
If you tried to log something and got exception there is not much you can do about it:
That leaves you with the "least of the evil" option of quietly swallowing it, allowing the application to keep performing its main job, but compromising the ability to troubleshoot it.
If an exception is thrown by an operation that was optional anyway, there might be nothing to do. It might not be useful to log it. In that case, you may just want to catch it and do nothing.
If you're doing this, include a comment. Always comment anything that looks like a bug (fallthrough in a
You might argue that this isn't a proper use of exceptions, but that's for another question.
As a consequence of taking this approach, when you program one particular application layer, you have several choices:
This doesn't really leave any room for do-nothing, empty
EDITED TO ADD: suppose you are programming in a language where throwing exceptions is the normal way of controlling the program logic (one of alternatives to
As a general rule, no. You either want to throw the exception up the stack, or log what happened.
However, I often do this when I'm parsing strings and converting to numbers (especially in mapping projects that are of the use-once and throw away variety).
In some cases, Java requires you to handle an exception that can, under absolutely no circumstances, ever happen. Consider this code:
Without breaking your Java platform, there is simply no way to ever cause this exception. So why bother handling it? But you cannot simply ommit the try-catch-clause.
There are a lot of cases, as illustrated by other answerers, where you would want to swallow/ignore the exception. In fact, this is so common that Scala provides a specialized control abstraction -
I always at least put a printStackTrace() call in mine in Java, for the exceptions that I'm NOT expecting. If it does get hit, I want there to be a record of how it was thrown so I can look again and see if more handling was necessary.
In my humble experience, rarely is this good thing. You mileage may vary though.
Nearly every time I've seen this in our code base, it's been because I've tracked down a bug that the eaten exception has hidden. To put another way, by not providing any code, the application has no way of indicating an error, or performing another action.
Sometimes, at API layers for example, you might not want or be able to let exceptions past, so in that case, I tend to try and catch the most generic, then log those. Once again, to at least give a debug/diagnosis session a chance.
Typically, if it must be empty, the least I do is put an assertion of some kind, so at least something happens during a debug session. That said, if I can't handle it, I tend to omit them completely.
IMO there is one place where empty catch statements are OK. In test cases where you expect an exception:
I believe there are certain cases where it is justified to have an empty catch clause - these are cases when you want the code to just keep going if a particular operation fails. However, I do think that this pattern can be easily overused, so each use should be closely examined to make sure there's not a better way to handle it. In particular, this should never be done if it leaves the program in an inconsistent state or if it could lead to some other part of the code failing later on.
I use them for testing if Im using a capable enough IDE that allows me to view exceptions easily. Of course when I move towards production they are taken out or handled better but its a nice starting point to see what types of exceptions may occur that I have not thought of.
I don't believe in not having some level of alert when an exception occurs - shouldn't one of the goals of programming be to improve code? If an exception occurs 10% of the time, and you never know about it, then the exception will always be that bad, or worse.
However, I do see the other side, that if the exception does no real harm in the processing of code, then why expose the user to it. The solution I typically implement is having it logged by my logger class (that is in every single class I ever write at work).
If it's a benign exception, then I make a call to my Logger's .Debug() method; otherwise, Logger.Error() (and (maybe) throw).
By the way, in my implementation of my logger, making a call to the .Debug() method will only log it if I my App.Config file specifies that program execution log level is in Debug mode.
In some cases, the exception is not at all exceptional; in fact, it is expected. Consider this example:
Since there is no isAlive() method in java.lang.Process(), about the only way to check if it is still alive is to call exitValue(), which throws an IllegalThreadStateException if the process is still running.
The only time I've really needed to do something like this was with a logging class for a console app. There was a top-level global catch handler which emitted the error to STDOUT, logged the error to a file, then closed the app with a >0 error code.
The problem here was that sometimes, the logging to the file failed. Directory permissions stopped you from writing the file, the file was exclusively locked, whatever. If that happened, I couldn't handle the exception in the same way I had elsewhere (catch, log the relevant details, wrap in a better exception type, etc) because logging the exception details caused the logger to go through the same actions (trying to write to a file) which had already failed. When they failed again... You see where I'm going. It gets into an infinite loop.
If you drop some of the try {} blocks, you can end up with the exception appearing in a message box (not what you want for a silent config app). So in that method which writes to the log file, I have an empty catch handler. This doesn't bury the error since you still get the >0 error code, it just stops the infinite loop and allows the app to exit gracefully.
There's a comment of course, explaining why it's empty.
(I was going to post this earlier, I was just afraid of getting flamed into oblivion. Since I'm not the only one, though...)
I do it in JavaScript occasionally when dealing with child windows. If I try to programmatically close or write to a child and it fails (either because the user already closed it or because it failed to open due to a popup blocker), there's really nothing more I can do.
There's probably a better way to handle this, but it works for me.
We have a few functions that log their error and throw an exception.
So, if I call these in a cleanup function/destructor/finalizer and they fail, I just swallow the exception and note in the code that any error is logged.
It is ok in situation when some sequence must be executed no matter what with most critical piece placed at the end.
For example. In motion control communication of host to controller. In emergency situations there is a number of preparation steps to abort movement, stop trajectory generation, decelerate motors, enable breaks, disable amplifier and after this you must kill bus power. All must happen sequentially and if one of steps fails rest of steps must be executed anyway even with accepted risk of damaging hardware. Say even if all above fails, the kill bus power must happen anyway.
Closing out system resources gracefully to recover from an error
For instance. If you're running a service in the background that doesn't provide feedback to the user, you may not want to push an indication of the error to the user but you do need to close out the resources being used in a graceful manner.
Ideally, you'd use the catch in debug mode to catch errors and print them to the console or to a log file for testing. In a production environment, background services generally are expected to not interrupt the user when an error is thrown so the error output should be suppressed.
I just wrote this today:
If it can't parse the date, it falls back to a default. In this scenario, I don't really care that it failed because I expect there to be garbage in that input from time to time.
I agree with the others that it doesn't hurt to leave a comment inside the catch block though :-)

For example we have html input with value="wally":
<input type="text" value="wally" />
How to get this old "wally" value (using jQuery) after user change it?
I tried to get it with .attr(), .prop(), .val() but all of them return the new value, which user entered.
You may test the code on jsfiddle. Try to change input value and click "get" blue button.
P.S. jQuery 1.7.2 included into the jsfiddle.

A Positive School Environment for Girls
The teenage girls I speak with wholeheartedly agree. When it comes to their feelings about school, there seems to be no middle ground: Either they feel safe and cared for, or they are unhappy. Danielle, a Girls' Life reader who is a freshman, vividly describes what it feels like for girls in less than ideal school settings:
I have had to adjust to two new teachers so far this year, which I think adds to the stress. My homeroom teacher was moved across town because he was accused of sexual harassment. My German teacher retired unexpectedly, and now we have this teacher who can't speak English and no one is learning anything. Today, two students were kicked out for "being bad," and neither of those two students deserved to be moved. Our principal is recording our class now. It is rather depressing to start your school day off with total and utter chaos. So, for me, learning isn't fun anymore, which is unfortunate.
Not surprisingly, when I ask teens about the one thing they would change to make their school experiences better, girls (but not boys) want to strengthen their ties with the people they see daily and improve the social climates of their schools. For example, girls in middle school and high school say they would like
- "Nicer friends and teachers."
- "More empathic friends."
- "Friendlier people."
- "Fewer cliques."
- "Closer relationships with faculty and staff."
- "More caring and helpful teachers."
The key factor is students' sense of attachment to their schools. Although most students in most schools reported feeling connected, a staggering one third of teens feel disenfranchised. As you wonder whether your daughter's school environment facilitates connectedness, consider the following findings:

I want to improve my personal efficiency. How better can I calculate my personal efficiency?
I am a programmer. I want to calculate my personal efficiency in programming.
There are far too many metrics to consider, especially if you want to see how much you're getting done instead of how much you're working. If you are a cook, you might want to see the rate of dishes out per minute, and so on. But from your profile, it seems you're a programmer, and you don't need an explanation why 'lines of code written' is a bad metric.
The much easier way is to calculate how much focused time you're able to put in. The key word here is focus, because most of the time we sit in front of our monitors and browse things unrelated to work, or constantly come in and out of focus every 5 minutes and accomplish nothing.
The base unit would be a Pomodoro, which is 25 minutes of uninterrupted work. Don't pick up calls. Don't talk to people. Don't open email. Don't look at unrelated sites. Focus completely for 25 minutes. Small breaks of less than 2 minutes (e.g. bathroom, telling someone you'll call them back) don't break a Pomodoro.
Just measure how many of these you do a day. Most people don't go more than 8 Pomodoros (200 minutes) in a productive environment (e.g. home, quiet office). Some hit 12 Pomodoros (300 minutes) at best for menial tasks. If you're fatigued or haven't had enough sleep, you'll get less. If you can't even hit 4 a day, you should consider what's causing so much interruptions!
For programming and design jobs, where you need time to 'get in the zone', you might want to go for longer timeblocks, as long as you can get that much time without being interrupted. If under fatigue, you may want to go a little less, but it's not optimal, unless you really can't focus for 25 minutes straight.
When does this not work?
I've made a few assumptions here. For one, the person being measured should not be trying to cheat - it's incredibly easy to fake this, so this isn't a great idea for project management.
Obviously, someone who is inefficient will spend a lot more time doing something. However, here, I'm also assuming that they're gaining some skill. There are plenty of methods to measure how much work has been done, but these do not often cater for things like long term gain or training. A person who is not trying to improve should not be measured this way.
Some effort can also be made in better measurement methods, especially results, but these will often have to be fine-tuned. More accurate methods will take time to set up. Some systems don't function so well with skill gain. A good programmer will be assigned to more difficult tasks, which will take them more time to accomplish. Without ranking and comparing the difficulty of tasks, one cannot easily measure this.
You will also have to put that effort in the right direction! Spending a thousand hours learning FORTRAN will make you a great FORTRAN programmer, but it might not actually help in your career.
Best case, quantifying this can only lead to some kind of approximate measurement. There are far too many inquantifiable soft nuances that need to be considered. That said, Matthew Cornell lists some metrics that could be used for measuring personal productivity and study trends over time:
Do you mean you want to get more done in a day or that you want to be able to solve programming problesm in less time than it takes right now?
The other answers talk about the first, I will talk to the second.
One way to get tasks done faster is to know how to do them without having to look up the answer. I see too many developers who throw away knowledge instead of storing it in their own brain. Looking up stuff you should know is inherently inefficient. (And incidentally knowing your profession without having to look up common tasks will make it easier when you have job interviews.) You certainly don't have to know everything about your profession, but if you are looking up more too much (note: this does not apply when you are learning a new area only for one you have been working in for awhile), or you find yourself continually looking up the same information then you need to start retaining knowlege not dumping it. I probably don't have to look up more than two pieces of professional knowledge a week and many weeks not even that. That is part of why I can often do things in minutes that take others hours.
Retaining basic knowledge gives the latitude to work on the harder problems too as you aren't spending so much time just to get the easy stuff.
Another way to improve your efficiency is to start to link knowledge together and look for patterns in how you solve problems and start to see how the problems you solve are similar. If you see each problem as something new to solve and don't use your past experiences to help you know where to look for the answer, then you are are not working efficiently or effectively. Further many problems have already been solved and the solutions are readily available. So knowing the available libraries and what they do (even if you have to look up the implementation details on one you don't use often) can save you a lot of time. Understanding that this an XYZ type problem will keep you from looking through ABC, DEF, and JKL for your solution.
Another way to improve efficiency is to really learn how to debug. If you can sort out the problem in code faster, you can finsh the project faster. There are some good books on debugging that will really help you understand that troubleshooting is far more complex than running a debugger.
Testing will help improve your efficiency as well. This is part of finding problems faster and before they get too embedded in your project that they are hard to root out.
Thinking about the design before you start to code will speed things up tremendously, esepcially if you find holes in the requirements that need answers. Better to think about how you are going to solve something, realize you need more info and get it before you start to code than spend hours building something and realize at the very end that you need more information and then when you get the new information, you have to scrap what you have done. It takes way less time to fix something in design than later inteh process.
Staying on top of your professional reading will help too. You can't use new more effective solutions unless you are aware that they exist.
Finally don't worry about efficiency very much. What you really need is effectiveness. If what you are doing is effective, the efficiencies tend to come naturally. But you can very efficiently do the wrong things. If I have a developer who codes fast but always misses in his understanding of what the product should do, I certainly am not going to prefer him to the slightly slower guy who gets the job done right.
Okay, here is my answer. Probably off topic and perhaps will be voted down!?
There are quite similar questions here and I think I want to give an perspective to one of them.
In my eyes, you should focus mainly on productivity. One past question was: how can I improve my programming productivity with a 10 finger typing system. That's the wrong question! I can program faster with one pinky finger, than most programmers.
Why? First the main activity in programming is reading. Second, the better you are, the better you can design you program, structure your code and apply high level concepts. This efficiency gain is much more than using 10 fingers compared to one.
Further, a meaningful measuring of the productivity of a programmer is almost impossible.
So how do you improve your productivity as a programmer? The goal is to become one of the best programmers in the world :-) Or just to become a top expert in the field. Your productivity will dramatically improve! Trust me.
So here are just some random tips that I would have given myself 5 years ago. To add some credibility, why I think I can give tips. Currently I am doing my PhD in computer science and my job is to create and design programming languages.
Random tip 1: Surround yourself with top programmers. If you work at a place where all programmers are 100 times better than you, instantly you will get better. I read that somewhere on this forum and it is so true. (But it might be not as much fun and it's quite stressful!) What I did is I started my PhD and the Professor was just a mentor who was 100 times better. A PhD is just one way, but finding a work place where really everyone is that much better is the best oppertunity.
Random tip 2: Just ask people. I remembered that from an interview of Steve Jobs. He said, just ask! People are usually nice. So I nervously called a guy that I've met at a conference. He is really insanely better than me. I told him I was in the area (a lie, but a good intro) and if I could drop by for 1-2 day to work together. Guess what, he said yes, and I went there multiple times. And I learned more than I ever dreamed of.
Random tip 3:
This is the most important one, but also the hardest by far. Learn high-level abstract mathematics. It's just programming is easy, mathematics is hard. The google founders both have a double degree in CS and Mathematics. Why is it important? Just look at a link what twitter is doing:
Random tip 4:
You can learn everything from YouTube.
Want to learn mathematics?
Random tip 5:
From time to time, listen to the greatest people on earth.
Random tip 6: Very important. Learn one (or more) of the top programming languages. This is similar to tip 1, as the experts like to program in the best programming languages. Thus, you surround yourself with the best programmers in the world (i.e., who write tutorials).
The best one is:
Other popular choices for top programming languages are:
Choices for somewhat okay languages:
languages that are not total garbage, and therefore are better than most languages: ruby (perhaps also python)
Programming books for an intermediate (or advanced level) are:
Okay, that's it. If there are any questions please post a comment. In my eyes is the right answer for 'I want to improve my personal efficiency.' (as a programmer).
I am not a programmer, but I know there is a company, www.tenxer.com who have developed a product to help track efficiency and productivity in programming and other things. I've used it to track some other areas of my work and it's pretty good - but does seem more tailored for programmers.
http://www.topcoder.com - This is a good site to understand where we stand as developers. The site has a lot of coding/design challenges. Most of them are real world cut-outs. So, you can get a very realistic estimate.

Why do Mormons put so much more emphasis on the family than most other denominations do? What about their doctrine causes this? Or is it more because of culture/tradition?

Why does the LDS church (Mormon) put so much more emphasis on the family than most other denominations do?
I'm answering this only because of the year I spent in a Mormon (LDS) church. If anyone who is LDS would like to post a different answer, please do. This is based only on what I observed and learned during that time.
There are actually a few reasons for the emphasis on family. The first section below is presented to add emphasis to the "meat" of the answer found later on.
The first has to do with the fact that LDS doctrine teaches that you have to add works on top of the free salvation presented by Jesus' sacrifice if you want to attain to the highest level of Heaven (also referred to as the highest degree of glory.
This underlies a lot of why members of the LDS Church are such stellar examples of how to behave, or at least why so much emphasis is put on "being good". Doing the will of God and actually following the commandments is seen as necessary to achieve the highest level of glory. One of the basic principles of the LDS Church is that other denominations are false, because Christianity went into full apostasy. They view the concept of salvation by grace through faith apart from works as a false doctrine that encourages people to continue sinning while believing they are saved. I can't tell you how many times I heard Matthew 15:8 quoted in Sunday Schools and in services.
The emphasis on being a good person springs from this belief. This is, from what I've experienced, the most crucial aspect of LDS doctrine, and the belief that good works are necessary to future glory underlies a great deal of the emphasis on goodness. Part of the emphasis on family springs from this. Quite obviously, it is good to love your family and to have a close family.
Their teachings also include the idea that your family life continues on in heaven, and they want to be able to spend eternity with their families. This feeds the emphasis on family, because close families are less likely to drift away from the Church. Since the view is that a person who leaves the Church is going to attain a lower level of glory, they want very much to maintain close ties to keep their children and loved ones in the fold. The best way to do this is to encourage family time, and closeness in the family.
You can read the official LDS statement on the importance of family while a more "evangelical" and less "doctrinal" explanation can be found here.
Faithful members of the LDS church have the opportunity to be married in the temple in a ceremony called a temple sealing. This sealing is one of the most sacred ordinances performed in the temple.
When a couple is sealed and married they don't hear the usual, "Until death do you part". This union doesn't end with death, rather it continues on into the eternities.
When a couple that has been previously sealed has children the blessing of the sealing extends to their children, as long as the parents have kept their covenants.
If a couple gets sealed after having children, the children enter the temple and the parents are sealed as husband and wife, and the children are sealed to their parents.
This sealing ordinance enables family ties to continue beyond death. This is why the family is a strong focus in the LDS church. The people in your family were likely close to you before you came to this earth, and if we keep our covenants, then we never have to lose them.
I think this article from 5/2003 explains the LDS position quite clearly, as to why they believe in the importance of family ties. Family members that have died before the could be brought within the Mormon fold can also be given the saving ordinances by having someone stand in for them. This Mormon missionary prep guide may help explain this.
By stressing close family ties it helps to bind the religious community together, and serves as an example of how being Mormon can help society as a whole. There is also more pressure on trying to stay together because the families will try to convince couples to persevere, all to keep the family together.
It also makes is harder to leave the Mormon faith because these close relationships will be at risk, so when people choose to leave they will leave everything they hold dear behind them.
This story was interesting, I don't know how legit it is, but it can give some idea about what happens when people leave the Mormon church. I am not trying to attack the Mormon faith by this last link, but to some idea as to how family will work to try to keep people in the faith. If more religions cared as much about close family ties I doubt we would have so many divorces, in the US.
I know that this was answered several months ago but I would like to contribute my view on this since I am actually of the LDS Faith have left the LDS church at one point and returned after a lengthy period of time.
The family is the most central unit of the LDS church. All doctrine in the church revolves around the family unit. Without the saving ordnance of being Sealed in the temple to your husband/wife a member of the LDS church believes that they cannot attain the highest degree of glory. As David said there is a large emphasis on works as well as the saving grace of Christ. So beyond just getting sealed the couple and later their family must continue to work at being a Celestial family (the highest degree of glory according to LDS doctrine). Because of this LDS families that actually live the teachings of the gospel do place a heavy emphasis on close family relationships.
Now to clarify what @James Black said. As one who has belonged to the LDS church for most of my life and having left the church at one point as well. I can honestly say that I never felt like I was discriminated against by those who knew me or my family. In fact I have a sibling who is not currently part of the church and my family not only loves her still, but does not pressure her to come back to the church. Would we like her too? Of course we would, but part of the reason that LDS families that live the gospel are so strong is because the LDS church also puts such a heavy emphasis on accepting people for who they are, and not who we think they should be.
The family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Read: The Family, a Proclomation to the World. - Official statement from the First Presidency of the Church, and Quorum of Twelve Apostles.
The simplest answer is that Families are the Greatest Source of PURE Joy, and finding joy is the purpose of life.
Our Father in heaven wants us to be happy, just as any father on earth would want his children to be happy, just like I want my children to be happy, more than anything I want them to find pure joy in this life and the life after.
This is the reason that God created the earth and put us on it, that we may pass through sorrow and find eternal happiness. For it is only through our trials and experiences on earth that we can learn happiness.

I am going travelling by bicycle, and I want to take a camera that allows me to take photos that are very high quality- e.g. raw format and with a good lense, and yet is not heavy, and is quite durable / resistant to dust. Do you have any recommendations for a good travel set up? I won't have the luxury of taking more than 2 lenses. In the past I took a Nikon D40x with an 18-200mm lens which was great but image quality was not quite up to scratch for what I want now.
I had originally posted this as a comment, but since the question has been edited to add "pro-quality" as the primary qualifier, I'm going to double-down and promote it to an answer.
The best solution for you is the Leica S-system. This will undoubtedly allow you to take pictures of very high, "professional" quality and has not just good but great lenses. Leica describes it as a "compact light-weight design", yet it's solidly built with the entire system (lenses and camera body) weather-sealed. There's a "compact all-rounder" (again, Leica's words) zoom you could take, and then for your second allowed lens, pick a prime that matches your favorite working field of view. (There's about a dozen to choose from, from ultra-wide to normal to telephoto.)
All together it'll only run you about $40,000, plus incidentals. That might seem like a lot, but hey, you want pro-quality, right?
That answer isn't meant to just be snarky. In order to provide a useful answer, we need more constraints. There are so many cameras on the market because there are so many different needs and situations, and "good for travel" doesn't really narrow it down since that's a huge segment of photography. But, even with specific information, this kind of question is hard to answer, because everyone will have their own favorite. It's better to ask questions that will help you make your decision, rather than asking us to do the shopping for you. (See this blog post for more on shopping questions.)
It's actually completely possible to produce top-quality images with the Nikon D40, even with that superzoom lens. It can certainly produce pro-quality images (where "image quality" is less important than other factors). The big, slow, compromised 18-200mm zoom is probably the biggest drawback equipment-wise, but even that should do if you're practiced at using it. Buying more stuff won't magically save you, but if you replace it with a nicer set of lenses you may find it easier. (That'd be an f/4 or f/2.8 constant-aperture zoom, or else a set of prime lenses, the latter being my personal non-sarcastic choice.) You'll still need to put in the effort to figure out how to get the best results, and fundamentally that will be the same as with the gear you had.
You might also find it nice to move to a more modern camera, and if weather and dust sealing is really the important criteria, you're looking at a mid-tier DSLR or mirrorless camera — see this search for current DSLRs or this one for mirrorless. You'd also need lenses to match — it happens that right now Pentax offers the cheapest weather-sealed lenses (and the cheapest weather-sealed DSLR body), but you'll also get it from higher-grade lenses in almost all systems.
If there are other technical features like that you're looking for, Neocamera and Digital Photography Review both have great search engines kept up to date with the latest models. Any modern DSLR will have big technology advances over a six-year-old camera like the D40, but that was a great camera with a great sensor, and, I have to emphasize again, to surpass the results you were getting with that, you'll have to do something different, not just use something different.
On a bike you need something that isn't too big ! there are specialist camera's out there, google found this fairly quickly http://www.amazon.co.uk/Extreme-Sports-Camcorder-display-detection/dp/B0081FF89E/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1359153885&sr=8-8
But if you a to use a standard camera, then I would suggest something that is not 'too' expensive in case it falls off so a canon G series or nikon P series.

I'm trying to find a great GTD app for my iPad. I don't have any other iOS devices or a Mac, but I want to ability to access it through my PC (web based is fine). A lot of the better GTD systems seem to be geared towards those that have other iOS devices or a Mac (e.g. Omnifocus). Does anyone have any good recommendations? I have been looking at
Action Lists for iPad and
Action List seems kind of pricey for an iPad app but seems geared toward those that do GTD instead of a generic task list.
Toodledo - the price is definitely right, but it seems to be more of a generic task list, although though you could probably modify it to implement a GTD system.

Join Voice of the Rampage Dan Weiss as he offers his unique insight to all things hockey in his weekly blog! Have a question or comment for Dan? Be sure to join the discussion of the San Antonio Rampage Facebook page to interact with other hockey fans! You may also submit your questions though Twitter by tagging @sarampage and using the hashtag #RampageVoice. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter by clicking here!
There's plenty of Rampage news to sort through since our last installment, especially with all the latest free agent comings and goings, but perhaps none more important than the changes to the coaching staff. Peter Horachek becomes the eighth head coach in Rampage history, while Chuck Weber slides into his new role as Director of Hockey Operations and Associate Head Coach, and Jason Cipolla joins the Florida Panthers coaching staff. Horachek has over 20 years of professional coaching experience, and spent the past nine seasons as either an assistant or associate coach with the Nashville Predators, one of the model franchises in the NHL when it comes to player development. The Predators advanced to the playoffs in seven out of the nine seasons with Horachek on the bench as a member of Barry Trotz's staff, and won 40 games or more for seven consecutive seasons. Horachek also has nine years of head coaching experience in the ECHL, Colonial Hockey League, IHL, and the AHL, and his clubs made the playoffs in every season with the exception of his first year, which included a Turner Cup Championship with the Orlando Solar Bears called by former Rampage broadcaster and now Spurs personality Andrew Monaco. If you watch Andrew's introductory video with Pete, you immediately come away impressed with his personality and the respect that he commands, and most importantly his desire to bring a winning team to San Antonio. Horachek's name has been in the mix for several NHL head coaching jobs over the past few years, and I think he's anxious to get back to leading a team after serving in a supporting role for as long as he has. As an added bonus, Pete and Chuck have a very good history of working together, as the two guided benches in both Trenton and Milwaukee, while Chuck also got his coaching start as a video coach in Orlando with that Solar Bears club that won a championship under Pete's direction. Weber's new role also allows him to capitalize further on one of his biggest strengths, which is recruiting. While the Panthers will continue to sign several players to NHL two-way contracts, Chuck will focus on AHL and even ECHL players that might be "under the radar" and could flourish in the Rampage system. These low-risk, high-reward players include guys like Jared Gomes and Jack Combs who both enjoyed success last season. All in all, while it's a change in dynamic, the combination of Horachek and Weber should be viewed as nothing but a positive development for the Rampage and the Panthers young prospects that will begin their careers in San Antonio…
…Free agency in the NHL kicked off over the holiday weekend, and the Panthers stuck to a plan of signing quality depth players that will hopefully contribute at both the NHL and AHL levels. The biggest addition was the re-acquisition of center Jon Matsumoto, who helped the Rampage not only clinch their first playoff berth in four seasons a year ago, but also guided the franchise to its first ever playoff series win following that thrilling double overtime victory in Game 5 in Chicago. Matsumoto is coming off a down year after collecting just 15 goals and 33 points in 65 games between Worcester and Chicago, but the Rampage are banking that a return trip to San Antonio will mean a return to form for the seven-year veteran. Matsumoto had 26 points in 35 games for the Rampage after being acquired in late January 2012, and he was arguably one of the most dynamic playmakers and scorers to ever wear a San Antonio sweater. This was no further evident than in the postseason when he led the Silver & Black with 13 points in 10 games, including a four-point effort in the Rampage's first playoff game and 5-4 overtime win against Chicago at the AT&T Center. The Wright-Matsumoto-Shore line was one of the best for the Rampage that spring, and Jon's addition will be a benefit to the likes of young centers like Nick Bjugstad and Vincent Trocheck. The Panthers also brought back defenseman Mike Mottau, who hopped on with the Rampage during the NHL lockout and collected seven points in 16 games before signing with Toronto, and signed former Ottawa center Jesse Winchester and Washington winger Joey Crabb, and former Tampa Bay defenseman Matt Gilroy who have all spent time in the AHL. Along with the re-signing of restricted free agent Eric Selleck and newcomer Bobby Butler, there will be some strong competition for the depth positions in Florida, but those who don't make the big club figure to be vital pieces to the Rampage's season.
…Finally, one Rampage favorite who will not return is three-year captain Nolan Yonkman. Yonkman was an unrestricted free agent after this past season, and Sunday signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Anaheim Ducks. Nolan's contributions and his impact on the Rampage were felt far beyond the ice and the locker room. His involvement in the San Antonio community, in particular the Face-Off Against Kids Cancer program, went above and beyond what was expected of any player to walk through these halls, and we were fortunate to have him serve as an ambassador for both the team and for hockey in South Texas. I will forever remember standing with Nolan at Yadira Medrano's rosary ceremony following her passing from cancer after a year in our Face-Off Against Kids Cancer program, and the realization we both came upon at that particular moment at the impact that our efforts could have in a child's life. Nolan took it upon himself to stay in touch with Yadira's family through what was clearly a difficult time, and there's no doubt in my mind that his presence and support helped ease their pain. I believe everyone who is a Rampage hockey fan is grateful for having the chance to get to know Nolan while he was here, and we wish him nothing but success moving forward in his hockey career.

Is there a money friendly guitar similar to the SG Standard?
If you mean more price friendly than the Gibson SG, then the Epiphone SG is what you want. Although it is much cheaper, in my opinion they are still very high quality guitars.
If you really just want the SG shape, then there is the SG Special Cherry that Epiphone do. I am afraid I cannot provide any information about how good/bad the guitar is, but it is very affordable. The sellers link is selling it at £119, which equals $190. You may have to pay a little more for overseas shipping, but it is still extremely cheap.
Hope this helps :)
if by "similar" you mean "same shape" then ya, the Epiphone SG's are one option.
ESP's LTD line has a guitar called a Viper which has a simiular yet more aggressive shape than the SG. They go from ~ $200 - $1,000 depending one which model u pick. Here's a link to musiciansfriend to check em out along w/ their price http://bit.ly/ea471n
Another thing to consider is to buy a used SG. Gibson made a bunch of guiitars with a "faded finish" which were cheaper than their standard ones. So search ebay for Gibson SG Faded and you'll see a handful of guitars priced much lower than a new, standard SG. These go for $500 - $700 or so.
There is a great brand which is called "vintage". They have licenced copies of SG, and it's so nice to play with it!! I know many people who changed pickups to gibson and doesn't want to buy original, Infact I have strat-mexico copy and I'm really not gonna buy original, because one of fender guys (working in fender, and they made workshop that day) said that my strato-mexico plays even better then his original guitar =))) So I think this kind of opinion really says something about this brand =)
So just checkout what they have

I'm trying to come up with a word to describe what happens in cartoons (and probably real life) when a traumatic event leads to a group of ordinary people (usually children) to fend for themselves. They then form a new society resembling a dictatorship ruled by bullies.

If you exclude the "traumatic event" part, then "anarchy" works.
from dictionary.com,
I'd call it a "Lord of the Flies situation". Lord of the Flies is a novel about some school kids on a field trip that are shipwrecked and wash up on an island with no adults, and form just what you described: a spontaneous, cruel society of neglected people.
I think nearly all somewhat-educated adult English speakers would understand exactly what you're talking about; we all had to read it in high school.
I would call this social atavism in general. The term for the form of government involved (rule by those best at causing fear, pain, injury and death) is despotism.

Former EXODUS bassist Michael Butler, who currently hosts the "Rock and Roll Geek Show", recently conducted an interview with guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow of Canadian heavy metal legends ANVIL. The chat is now available for streaming and/or download at this location.According to indieWIRE, the U.S. debut of ANVIL's acclaimed documentary, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", was the top Easter weekend newcomer at the specialty box office. The film grossed $34,800 from three screens last weekend. The Abramorama release's $11,600 was the best per-theater-average of any reporting release — even overall box office champ "Hanna Montana: The Movie". ANVIL will appear at this year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods ceremony, which will be held June 15 at Indigo2 in London, England's O2 Arena . ANVIL will perform on the main stage of the annual awards bash, which is owned by Future's Metal Hammer magazine. The event celebrates the great and good from the international world of rock and metal as well as playing host to several of the loudest bands on the planet to an audience of frothing and frenzied kids. VH1 has acquired the exclusive rights to "Anvil! The Story of Anvil". VH1 is handling the television and DVD release and is distributing the film theatrically in association with Abramorama. The world television premiere on VH1 this summer and the subsequent DVD release of the film follow a network-wide, multi-platform promotional campaign supporting the theatrical film release.

Is it possible to install Ubuntu on MacBook? If so, how can I modify my partitions without affecting my existing Mac OS X installation?
I made it last week. First install refit on mac. Tried so many times with partitioning tool in disk utility but gave an error and asked more reduce.
Anyway, due to defrag problems I gave up to continue with disk utility and I made a boot cd burning in disc utility with gparted (OS not gparted software which is in ubuntu repo) on it. Booted Gparted and made partition with it. After installing ubuntu 10.10 on this partition everythings worked fine, maybe I was lucky. But do not forget to make a full back up.
Now everthing works fine in leopard 10.6 and in ubuntu ...
You don't need refit and any special hack...
Just start bootcamp and insert ubuntu cd instead of the windows one...
When you are in the ubuntu installer, choose manual partitioning and delete the bootcamp partition(created by your mac automatically) and use the free space for a new partition (ext4 mountpoint is '/')
If anything goes wrong you can delete the ubuntu partition from your mac. Note that mac uses efi so you don't have to worry about mbr stuff... Just don't erase the wrong partition (Mac OS X uses HFS+, )
I believe the partitioning process would be similar to what you do using bootcamp for windows.
A lot of good info is available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
Since Oneiric (11.10) and maybe before, the Ubuntu installation has an automatic install choice of "install alongside OS X". I did not have to set up any partitioning beforehand, as suggested by the now many outdated webpages, including the official Ubuntu help page. However, as suggested there, I did install rEFIt beforehand, to make sure nothing would go wrong.

Sharing a Difficult Decision
The Center for Shared Decision-Making helps guide newly diagnosed cancer patients through the difficulties of making hard medical choices
Usually, they've been referred to Martha, who is a senior clinical secretary in the Center for Shared Decision-Making at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, by a DHMC doctor—often an oncologist. Sometimes, Martha meets a patient just hours after they've received terrible news: they have cancer.
"For most patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer, everything else just goes away," she says. "There's just one word in the world: cancer. And they're overwhelmed by it."
Martha has seen up close the wide range of emotions and questions that new cancer patients struggle with, from senior citizens wondering whether they should endure a difficult and painful treatment at their age, to young mothers who ask—usually through tears—"How do I tell my children?"
A Key Tool: Decision Aids
Behind Martha's desk are several shelves groaning under the weight of hundreds of copies of what are called Decision Aids. These are small, highly informative spiral-bound booklets put together by Health Dialog and the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation that describe treatment options for various kinds of diagnoses, from early-stage breast cancer to knee-replacement surgery. A DVD is included with each booklet, and patients and their families are encouraged to spend as much time as they need reviewing the Decision Aid for their diagnosis and thinking about the various choices. Each patient is also given a two-part questionnaire to complete before and after they have viewed the DVD and/or booklet.
"A significant number of the Decision Aids I loan out come from requests from our Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program," says Martha. "It's a devastating diagnosis, and the treatment options all have benefits and risks that women with this diagnosis should be made aware of so they can make an informed decision about their treatment.
The Early-Stage Breast Cancer Decision Aid is subtitled "Choosing Your Surgery," and the booklet includes descriptive information about breast cancer and surgery choices as well as guidance on what questions to ask the doctor, how to compare the various treatment options, seeking a second opinion, and how to make the best individual choice, plus a glossary of terms and much other important information. "The Decision Aid does not tell you what to do," Martha emphasizes. "It provides information needed to help you make the decision about what to do."
In addition to providing Decision Aids, the Center also offers decision coaching to help patients understand the treatment options available to them and guide them through a decision process so the patient feels more confident about their choice. The decision coaching is done by the Center's Interim Director, Susan Berg, MS, CGC. Cancer patients are also made aware of the many resources available to them at DHMC and Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
On many occasions Martha has suggested to patients that they "stay off the Web because they are so overwhelmed by the myriad of information. Some of the information on the Web is worst-case-scenarios, and it can really scare new patients with information that may not be relevant to their particular diagnosis." However, the Center will provide interested patients and families with a list of recommended medical websites that was created by the Medical Library Association.
Empowering Patients with Cancer
The Center for Shared Decision-Making at DHMC is one of the first programs of its kind in the United States, and grew out of efforts back in the 1990s to empower patients. In today's health care environment, patients want to feel like they are part of the decision-making regarding their treatment. People are less willing to completely hand over such important decisions to someone else, even a doctor. Martha notes that some patients and their families want to take full control of the decision about treatment; others prefer to let their doctor make the decision. However, most choose to share the decision-making process with their provider and family. "It's a different process for each patient and family," she says.
The other important function of the Center is to introduce patients and families to the many patient resources available at DHMC and the Cancer Center, from social workers to financial advisors to dieticians to massage therapists to counseling such as that offered by the Familial Cancer Program. "There is an enormous group of people here at DHMC ready to help," Martha advises patients. "Use us."

How to Burn a Disc in iTunes
4 of 7 in Series: The Essentials of iTunes
Copying files to a disc is referred to as burning, and you can burn music to a disc by using iTunes. If you burn it as an audio disc, you can play it in any CD or DVD player. You can also burn an MP3 disc, which can hold a lot more music but can only be read by another computer.
Select the playlist you want to put on your disc and then click the Burn Disc button.
The Burn Disc button appears in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window whenever you select a playlist. After clicking Burn Disc, the Burn Settings dialog appears.
Select options in the Burn Settings dialog and click the Burn button.
You can specify your preferred speed, disc format, and more.
Insert a blank disc (label side up).
iTunes immediately checks the media and begins the burn process, displaying a progress bar and the names of the songs burning to the disc. When iTunes finishes burning the disc, iTunes chimes.
Eject the newly burned disc from your drive.
Test the disc to make sure it plays properly.
Burning takes several minutes. You can cancel the operation at any time by clicking the X next to the progress bar, but canceling the operation isn't like undoing the burn. If the burn has already started, you can't use that CD-R or DVD-R again.

Forty years ago, Winfrey Blackburn told his children stories about patience and listening through the tales of imagined characters Putney the Pumpkin and Rodney the Lightning Bug. Today these characters have come to life through Sylvia Berger's illustrations, and their stories are sitting on the shelves of local bookstores.
"Rodney the Lightning Bug and the Golden Medallion," published by Acclaim Press on June 1, 2012, tells a tale about how not listening can get you in trouble. The Voice-Tribune caught up with the newly-published children's author to learn a little more about his creative process, and the message he hopes to share with kids.
What inspired you to write Rodney the Lightning Bug?
These are stories I told my own children when they were three and five years old, 40 years ago. I met the illustrator (Sylvia Berger) who was a neighbor… and asked her if she would illustrate one of the stories, and that led her to get a degree at the University of Louisville (in Fine Arts). … We hadn't really intended to publish it, initially. We just did it for fun for our children.
You recently held a reading at Barnes and Noble. What was that like?
We (showed) the children about six or eight versions of Rodney that other artists submitted to me when I was trying to develop the way Rodney looked so they can see that it's a process. … We (shared) some pages that were illustrated and then redone. The point of that is to show them "try, try again." You don't always get everything the first time.
What theme do you want to resonate with readers?
In my mind, all children are underdogs. They can't talk as well, they can't run as fast, they're not as tall. You just kind of come into life behind the eight ball, having to learn all these things. I think children relate to an underdog that wins in the end.
"Rodney the Lightning Bug and the Golden Medallion" is available at Barnes and Noble, Carmichael's Bookstores and the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts.
Winfrey Blackburn grew up in Frankfort, Kentucky in a family that never hesitated to embellish a tall tale. He has practiced law in Louisville since 1965 and has authored "Putney: A Little Pumpkin With Big Ideas" and co-authored "The Kentucky Houses of Stratton Hammond" and "Country Houses of Louisville 1899 to 1939" with R. Scott Gill.
Sylvia Berger is a constant doodler. She received her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from the University of Louisville in 1983 and received the Winthrop Allen award for outstanding work as a graduating senior. Her paintings are shown in the Louisville area, but she now has turned her hand to illustrating children's books. She illustrated "Putney: A Little Pumpkin With Big Ideas" and is currently working on her third book.

It's been a crazy few weeks! I taught the pre-con Peak Piates basic mat on Wednesday and Thursday, and from then on it was go, go, go. I had some wonderful students in my course, and they showed such promise!
The WSSC Conference itself was amazing! The energy that is in each molecule of air is intense! The Pilates sessions were very well attended, and we had some new and exciting barefoot workshops that had everyone raving. My favorite workshop was my Postural Assessment Techniques which was attended by both Spinning instructors and Pilates teachers. The caliber of teacher out there for both modalities is astounding, and I was so happy to see interested and thinking faces.
I was part of the Peak Pilates demo team this year. With Zoey narrating, Kathryn, Kim, Carly and I "performed" on different pieces of equipment. According to Zoey the audience was in awe of some of the exercises we did. I love getting people to realize how hard and precise Pilates really is.

In Linux Mint 13, the default configuration (under MATE) shows icons for the path rather than a text box containing the path. This is a huge issue for interfacing with the command line or programs, where I often need to copy/paste the path. The latest version of Ubuntu also has these annoying icons, but includes a small button to click to convert it to text-form.
Is there any way to force the file manager to show me the text form so I can copy/paste the active path? Bonus points: How do I make this the default?

Is there a command like

That I could use to cause a watchdog reset of my embedded linux device?
If you have a watchdog on your system and a driver that uses
You also might be interested in resetting the device using the "magic sysrq" way. If you have a kernel with the
If you think the watchdog is running OK, and want to test that it really is capable of recovering a crashed system, then you can do one better than Shawn's answer by using the "magic sysrq" to crash the system with a kernel panic. Syncing your file system first is a good idea, so do something like this as root:
That should cause a kernel panic if the sysrq is enabled. Then if you wait around 60 seconds (typical time-out for the watchdog module) you should see the machine reboot. Please note this will only work with hardware watchdogs and not the 'softdog' module.

TAGGED?OUT — Pirates second baseman Michael Martinez tags out Everth Cabrera of the Padres in the sixth inning of Saturday's game at PNC?Park. The Padres won 2-1.
Pittsburgh answered in the home half when Josh Harrison led off with a single, stole second and scored on Russell Martin's RBI single.
After the first inning Liriano retired the next 17 batters he faced before walking Grandal with two outs in the seventh. He gave up three hits and a walk in seven innings.
Jared Hughes pitched a scoreless eighth for Pittsburgh. Hughes hit Tommy Medica in the back of the head with a pitch to load the bases. Medica left the game.
The Pirates put men on second and third with no outs in the eighth but failed to score against Kevin Quackenbush.
Joaquin Benoit struck out two in scoreless ninth for his fifth save.
Right-hander Andrew Cashner (shoulder) made his first rehab start for Single-A Lake Elsinore on Friday night and threw 24 pitches over two scoreless innings. Manager Bud Black said Cashner's velocity was normal and he received good reports. Cashner is slated to throw a side session with Elsinore on Monday and then make his second rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
Center fielder Andrew McCutchen (rib) missed his fifth straight game. ... Second baseman Neil Walker (back) could be nearing a return to the starting lineup after participating in batting practice and field work before each of the last two games. He pinch-hit in the ninth inning, his first action since Tuesday.
Right-hander Charlie Morton (5-10, 3.43 ERA) attempts to stay undefeated against San Diego. The sinkerballer is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four career starts against the Padres, with the latest win coming in Pittsburgh 10-3 at Petco Park June 2 with Morton allowing two runs in five innings.

Comments about Takeya 22 Oz. Green Apple Glass Water Bottle:
Overall this is a great water bottle. Clean design, glass is great, silicone cover great and works (yes, dropped it already once or twice). However, the handle is not very comfortable and now that I bought this, I prefer an easier-to-remove cap. However, this cap is water-tight and I have had NO spillage. Up to you and your preferences.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In my university Campus I need to connect to Internet through a proxy. As I am using a notebook, in Ubuntu 11.04 I set a shortcut in the Launcher to the proxy settings in order to "easily" change the proxy every time I go to the Campus. However, I can't figure out how to do this under Ubuntu 11.10.
Is there a way to create a shortcut pointing directly to proxy settings?
Even better, but less likely, is there a way to set the network settings so it changes the proxy every time I connect to my Campus WiFi?
Thanks you.

Take a look at this fellow. His rep graph shows he should have around 800, but his score is 1. There is no penalty box message on his account, either. The rep graph also shows no major negative activity like -100 for flagged posts. What's going on here?
What is meta?

My first revision about flagged posts not showing in the reputation was wrong, but if I delete this then the useful comment by Bill the Lizard might be lost? I'll just repeat what Bill commented then:
This user has actually been discussed on Meta before. He got into some trouble for spamming a commercial mail library and apparently also a bar code library. He got tons of flags.
This culminated in a discussion revolving around this specific user, which he actually came and participated in, fairly amicably I think.
He actually did get flagged to death, but I think the flagged posts were deleted and just aren't showing up in his history or reputation graph (and he hasn't gotten a recalc). Either that or he was penalized by mods but subsequently forgiven.
This chap posted answers to various questions on .Net and email. All of these answers included a link to his web site where he sells a .Net email library. Often he posted these answers to quite old threads, in a way which looked like a marketing campaign.
Basically a whole bunch of his answers appeared on the Tools Flag page as spam (a couple of them are still there). A whole number got the necessary six votes to incur the 100 point penalty.

As of 9:30 a.m. this morning, White County is still under a blizzard warning and there is very little traffic on the roadways. City crews have done an excellent job clearing the way on the side streets, but the snow continues to fall and crews continue to retrace their routes to keep up with the accumulation.
All of the offices and businesses in downtown Carmi are not open due to the weather, including the White County Courthouse. Local snow removal companies are out and have cleared off several parking lots for businesses to open when the snow clears out.
"The roads are snow packed," said Byrd Huber of the White County Sheriff's Department. "The highways are bad and the county roads are terrible. We've already had a plow get stuck. We have not issued a state of emergency, but we advise that you do not get out on the roads."
According to Evansville, Ind. television stations, White County was in the heart of the blizzard, expected to reach seven to 11-plus inches of snow. The Times office took several readings around the building and estimates nine inches of snow fell in Carmi. Winds and wind gusts continue to bear down on the area, making drifting an issue for most residents attempting to dig out of their driveways.
Weather is expected to begin clearing in the afternoon hours today followed by a sunny day on Thursday before another round of snow moves into the area for the weekend.
